No. Doesn't work. Fdisk couldn't figure out how to partition it
correctly. Actually it had a very hard time figuring out the correct
Cylinder, Heads, Sectors values that worked correctly. I gave up on
this.

I boot from a 3Ware RAID5 host array (160GB).=20

2. No. I had 2.2TB arrays and I couldn't create a filesystem that big.
I split them up in hardware to 1.1TB each and created 4 x 1.1TB
arrays. No other workable solution I could find.
