EFI GPT
To use a partition larger than 2T, traditional tools such as fdisk will not work as MBR cannot address that much space. Instead, one needs to use EFI Guid Partition Table, aka GPT. WikiPedia has a very good elaboration on what that is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_TableTo create such a partition, use parted:
parted /dev/cciss/c0d1 mklabel gpt mkpart primary 0 4001G toggle 1 lvm quit
Then proceed to the usual mkfs or lvm provisioning.

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=2 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 seek=2929629465
(/dev/sdb has 182361 cylinders of 16065 512b sectors each for a total of 2929629465 sectors.)
