This option is required to support the full capacity of large
(2TB+) block devices, including RAID, disk, Network Block Device,
Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and loopback.
-
- For example, RAID devices are frequently bigger than the capacity
- of the largest individual hard drive.
-
- This option is not required if you have individual disk drives
- which total 2TB+ and you are not aggregating the capacity into
- a large block device (e.g. using RAID or LVM).

+ This option also enables support for single files larger than
+ 2TB.
