debian-1.3 partition size limitation ?

[Markus Diesmann <diesmann@biologie.uni-freiburg.de>]

Hi,

I tried to install debian-1.3 on a system with an 
Adaptec AHA-2940 UW SCSI Controller connected to
a hardware raid IFT-3102U with 34GB avialable.

- partitioning the computers internal disk (also connected
  to the SCSI controller) works fine

- partitioning a small (2GB) partition on the raid also works
  fine

However an attempt to create a large partition 30GB 
(alone, or after the 2GB one) fails.

Independt of the existence of the 2GB partition, 
bad block scan for the large one results in a "bad block 49"


I know, that the file system limit for ext2 is somewhere in the
tera byte region.

Is there a limit for the partitioning tool used by the 
debian-1.3 installation disks?
And if so, is there a special tool for large partitions?

Thanks,
