The irony is of course that I thought of this whilst building an array of 4x500gb. I've decided to stick an extra 500gb and expand the array a bit, and now I might bump into that 2TB limitation of 0.9 superblocks. I've read the manpage and it mentions something cryptic about superblock 1.2 restrictions, but I'm sure it's not something i'll have to worry about. What I am curious about however is wether I can upgrade my metadata on my raid5 array? Thanks, oliver
