I am in the process of installing a 3 terabyte RAID
on an Altix system running propack2.4 with kernel 2.4.21
The RAID manufacturer says that unmodified versions
of redhat enterprise have a terabyte partition limit.
I assume this is not true of Propack 2.4?

What are the preferred programs to partition (fdisk?) and
create an xfs filesystem (mkfs.xfs?) ?
