Re: 2.4TB disk - MBR and GPT coexist?

Why not use 3BM (3Ware BIOS Manager) to setup the RAID. Create the
RAID with it, specify a boot volume, turn off autocarving, so it
creates two units (one smaller boot volume, and all the rest it a
large unit). Setp the smaller unit like normal (fdisk, newfs, etc)
and setup the larger unit with GPT.

That's how I set up the RAID. If there is an option to specify smaller volumes that isn't the auto carving option, then it is very well hidden. There's really only one page it could be on, and it isn't there.
