It does. At least the version i got does: ... WARNING: The size of this disk is 3.0 TB (3000592982016 bytes). DOS partition table format can not be used on drives for volumes larger than (2199023255040 bytes) for 512-byte sectors. Use parted(1) and GUID partition table format (GPT). ... And that's not even the most recent version: fdisk -v fdisk (util-linux 2.20.1) But in the OP-Case the kernel appeared to reported the disc as 2TB, which could be seen in the fdisk output. -- Matthias _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
