Hi,
A wild guess: Could it be that the SCSI sub-system is limited to 2^32 sectors (each 512 byte)? This would explain the 2 TB limit.

Subject: [Xen-users] Extending a disk attached by iscsi
Hello,
I inherited an old Xen environment with one VM remaining that we need to use for the foreseeable future.
xen_caps : xen-3.0-x86_64 xen-3.0-x86_32p
A disk for the VM is mapped via iscsi on a Dell Powervault for 2 terrabytes. I increased the virtual capacity of the mapping on the powervault to over 3 terrabytes, but the actual VM still only recognizes 2 TB.
I can’t seem to find the appropriate way to have Xen recognize the larger capacity and the only Xen/iSCSI docs I see online are about newer Citrix oriented platforms.
If anyone can share ideas or where I can look, it would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Adam Lang
