Btrfs devel - Mar 2011 - drives with more than 2 TByte

Hallo, linux-btrfs,

what about disks with more than 2 TByte? Other filesystems (?) need GPT.

When I use

   mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdc

(p.e. with drive sdc), does that work without problems with btrfs?

Viele Gruesse!

The filesystems don''t care about the partition system. The 2TB limits
is
related to the maximum partition size. Of course a filesystem cannot be
greater the partition where it is allocated.
