3ware arrays with 2TB of disks each (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb) are seen as 1TB devices
2.4 kernels have a limitation so that number of blocks is represented as
an unsigned int or signed int. This is either a 31-bit or 32-bit value.
Henceforth, max capacity is 2^{31,32} * 512, i.e. 1 or 2 TB, depending on
the filesystem.
2.6 kernels normally have removed this limitation.
Comme quoi, la limitation du Go nous paraitra bientôt aussi incongrue et saugrenue qu'une fameuse limitation à 640k !
