I have a PE 6800 with a PERC 4/ei controller. IT has 10 300GB physical
drives. In the PERC BIOS setup it shows each drive as 286080MB. In a
raid 5 it should be 286 x 9 = 2.574TB. But when I select all 10 drives
into a RAID 5 it shows size as 2097144MB and LD 0. Then when I accept
that, it pops up LD 1 with size 477576MB. Am I hitting a 2TB limit?
Any way to overcome this? I'd like to have 1 logical drive of 2.574TB,
and not a logical drive of 2TB and a second logical drive of 477GB.
