The only RAID level that I can setup on that is 0, which goes upto 1250GB. If I set this up and FC1 has that limit of 1TB then I'm not in a good situation, do I? The manual of the storage box says it can support upto 2TB (8 bays) and I donno how, the maximum that I can see is with RAID 0 (i.e., 1.25TB). Does FC2 with 2.6 kernel has any limit like this on block devices??

I am sorry Sanjay. I should pay more attention. The RAID array is a
completely seprate device and doesn't reboot with the server? Have you
created the RAID 0 array then and then booted up and see what you get
from the scsi bus in dmesg?
Does the controller and also the external storage show up on the scsi
bus? cat /proc/scsi/scsi
The limitation in RHEL 2.1 was not necessarily in the kernel. I think
it was actually in some of the userspace applications like fdisk or df
... maybe in the kernel but I don't think the limitation is inherent to
the 2.4 kernel. Once the raid array was built I would see some huge
negative size when I did df IIRC. If your disk size reads right once
you see it the I wouldn't worry about it.
