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.

It should. BTW, why you dont' use a GPT partition table ?
