Not I, everytime I try to combine two 850GB volumes into one logical 
volume, I can't get ext3 to format beyond 1TB.  Errors out.  :(

As I mentioned before, I have some 1.5TB volumes (not logical) coming 
soon, so it'll be interesting to see what I have to do to get them to 
work.

Any pointers?  I have some vague idea about running unsupported 2.6.1 or 
something on those boxes.  A little scary, but Red Hat doesn't seem to 
have any other options for me... ?
