Does Linux support 64-bit SCSI LUN addressing? Suppose I have a system 
that can create SCSI LUNs that are greater than 2TB using a block size 
of 512 bytes and can accept 16 byte CDBs, can I use this LUN with a 2.6 
series Linux kernel?

If so, are there any filesystems (ext3, XFS, etc. ) that can use a LUN > 
2TB?

Would I need any additional tools?

Would I need a 64-bit platform?
