I have Centos server 4.5 with 3.3TB raid disk on a 3 ware controller.
Now the problem is that I am not able to see the partition in full since
it shows only 1.2TB.
I have created a partition with Parted and (GNU PARTED) and I have seen
it is 3.3 T there. However I have to make this partition on ext3 with
make2efs –j /dev/sda1 and after the formatting it went to 1.2T.
Could someone help me to address this issue by suggesting a proper
partitioning utility which does this for me?. It is a production server
on which 2 hdd had been failed and I need to make it up and running ASAP.
Any suggestion and help would be really appreciated.

Rajeev,
Make sure you have the disk label set to gpt. When using parted, use
the mklabel option.

You need CentOS 5 to support devices >2TB. And you can't boot from such
devices because, as the other posted mentioned, you must use a gpt
partition label, which grub does not support.
