[Bug 543838] [NEW] unable to create filesystem on 7.5TB partition with lucid beta

[BullCreek]

Public bug reported:

AMD64 Lucid BETA1 Alternate CD seems to have a problem with large
filesystems.  I'm thinking the kernel was probably built with the wrong
options maybe, but not sure.  I have another identical media server
running AMD64 karmic with this setup running fine so this is something
that got broken in lucid.

Setup is 12 750GB drives built into a RAID6 array using mdadm.  The
mdadm part works fine (in fact it works better in lucid than it ever has
- I always had to Alt-F2 over to a console and build the array manually
before but it works right in the GUI now - woohoo).  Unfortunately, when
I go to put a filesystem on the new RAID partition, I get:

ERROR!!!

partition length of 14651438080 sectors exeeds the loop-partion-table-
imposed-maximum of 4294967295.

Hopefully this can be fixed before release - as quite a few mythbuntu
folks have arrays > 2TB.
