SLES10 SP1 x86_64 - I have a 10 TB raid unit, formatted as a single
volume. When I try to create a filesystem on it, Yast is giving me an
error message that the msdos disk label can only support 256K cylinders
(I need ~1.3M) which ends up being 2 TB. Are we not beyond this
already? Single disks will probably grow beyond 2TB in the next 2
years.... Is there any way around this?

Thanks,
Joe
