GRUB is limited to 2TB partitions; it'd be nice to have access to larger.

The >2TiB (>2.2TB) boot limitation is actually a limitation of the 16-bit PC BIOS and MBR Partition Table (legacy BIOS/DOS Disk Label).

There is support for >2TiB (>2.2TB) slices/file systems on GUID Partition Table (GPT) in EL6 with uEFI firmware.
