Hi, I have asked this question(s) on the freebsd-hackers ml as well, but no reply... maybe somebody in here can help me. And obviously, I am sorry for the double-posting... I have a 'backup box' which acts like a SCSI device with almost 2TB of available space. And, obviously, I would like to use it all. But I have encountered problems with fdisk (because of the number of 'so called' cylinders, I imagine), and formatting the filesystem. So, I have the following questions: 1. Is there a 'modified' version of fdisk which works with large disks (mine is: da1: 2097144MB (4294950912 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 5204C)) 2. What kind of filesystem should I run on this thing (will UFS2 handle 2+ TB)? Is there any support for XFS or so for FreeBSD? 3. Are there any resources (documentation/mailing-lists/etc) which treat this problem? Please reply to my email as well, since I'm not subscribed to freebsd-fs mailing list. Thank you, bogdan
