That's interesting but it makes me wonder what they are doing wrong.

Is there some rule of thumb for how much RAM the system should have for that?

Hi John,
Thanks for this info. Drobo says no ext4:
http://support.drobo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/165/~/how-do-i-use-my-drobo-with-a-linux-machine%3F
I will look up XFS.

here's my parted recipe for making very large volumes... this will
fill the disk, reserving 512K up front to be on a reasonable stripe boundary
|parted /dev/sdb ||"mklabel gpt"|
|parted -a none /dev/sdb ||"mkpart p

Thanks for the advice.
What are you storing on your large RAIDS that you mention?

One other option is to boot from a gparted-live CD, which gives you
a GUI long enough to partition your volume, then reboot your normal
system.

We do it manually, when we get to it, and when the us
Hi Mark,
Do you override the automatic fsck check with tune2fs? It would be a huge
bummer to do through a check frequently, I forget the defaults but I think
180 days or a certain number of mounts, iirc.

I found an article that led me to do:
(parted) mkpart primary 0GB 16TB
(parted) print
Model: DROBO DroboPro (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdg: 17.6TB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

So far, when I've been in that situation I've installed X, the gnome
desktop, and the freenx package and connected from an NX client.
Seemed easier then dealing with the parted options
I dont have a graphical desktop installed.

Hi All,
I have a Drobo, connected to a CentOS 6.4 box. The box sees it as /dev/sdg.
I want to format it ext3 (as they dont support ext4) but when I try I get:
# fdisk -u /dev/sdg
WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdg'! The util fdisk
doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.
