Hello.

I have setup DRBD on a partition that is 9TB but /dev/drbd1 is only 4TB in size.
OS is Ubuntu 10.04 64bit and have apt-get installed drbd-utils getting version 8.3.7
drbdadm -V
DRBDADM_BUILDTAG=GIT-hash:\ ea9e28dbff98e331a62bcbcc63a6135808fe2917\ build\ by\ buildd at yellow\,\ 2010-06-01\ 11:06:12
DRBDADM_API_VERSION=88
DRBD_KERNEL_VERSION_CODE=0x080307
DRBDADM_VERSION_CODE=0x080307
DRBDADM_VERSION=8.3.7

And google tells me that the limit should be 16TB on 64bit systems that I use. 

I have more or less followed this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HighlyAvailableNFS
Using that config.

So why am I getting a limit of 4TB ?

Grateful for any answer I can get.

BestRegards
Mikael
