Is the MFI HBA in a Dell PowerEdge R410 or similar 11th generation server? These HBA's see all disks above 2 TB size as 2 TB disks - it's a limitation of the HBA firmware. So any O/S is limited to 2 TB max disk size with this controller although a firmware update may be availabe that supports larger disks.
