Partitioning a 34GB Harware Raid

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

This is a follow up to my last weeks question.

I was not able to create a 34GB ext2 file system on
a primiary partition using fdisk and mke2fs.

However, when I first create a 1GB primary partition and 
a 33GB logical partition. It works. I was able to create
a 33GB file system on the logical partition.

Can this analysis be correct?
Is there a size limitation for primary but not for logical
partitions?
Before I move all the home accounts of our research group to
the raid I would like to be sure that everything is correct.

Thanks,

Markus Diesmann
