Short toturial on how to set up raid5 using mdadm bigger than 2TB

Creating:
mdadm --create /dev/md5 --chunk=64 --level=raid5 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sdg1 /dev/sdh1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sdc1 --force

Checking the status on how the raid is build
cat /proc/mdstat

After everything is build (took some time) you have to create a partion. Since fdisk cant handel more then 2TB, you have to use parted.
parted /dev/md5

Create a GPT label.
mklable gpt

Create a Partion. Using the max possible space
mkpart primary 0 -0

Exit
exit

Now format the new partion as you like.
mkfs.xfs -L RAID /dev/md5p1

Set you config straight
mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf

Mount it.
mount LABEL=RAID /mnt
