GUID Partition Tables and Networking
I am contemplating making a 4 TB RAID5 with five 1TB Hitachi drives. As I understand I have to use GUID Partition Table (GPT) instead of MBR for windows to recognize a partition larger than 2.2TB (which means I have to use an x64 version of windows).
My question is, if I use GPT and share the entire volume to all my other computers on the local network which are running win xp pro sp2, will they all be able to see this shared drive? I have never used GPT or had a partition larger than 2.2TB so if anyone have any ideas, please let me know. Thanks!

At the Ethernet level all devices talk in terms of packets. What those devices do with those packets at their end is up to them.
