Hi,

i'm having problems with growing my RAID0 array over 2 TB. I installed two 4 TB drives, created 4 TB partitions but array cannot be resized over 2 TB. Superblock versoin is 0.90 and kernel version is 3.2.53 - according to linux RAID wiki, it should support 4 TB component/array size:

Why are you using "fdisk" even though "fdisk" is telling you not to use it?

What does
  cat /proc/partitions

say about the sizes of the partitions?
