Hello, hopefully this isn't too much background. I have 4 IDE drives on my system. wd0 - 6.4GB Seagate wd1 - ATAPI CD-ROM wd2 - 5.0 GB Fujitsu wd3 - 10.2 GB Western Digital The 3 drives are concatenated via vinum and are performing flawlessly. I noticed a couple days ago that on startup the 6.4 gb drive (wd0) is only being reported as 1888MB instead of the 6.4gb. Now the drive is actually working fine, and the vinum volume was configured when it was reporting drive space correctly on startup. I genuinely cannot tell you when it started reporting things improperly as I didn't have a monitor on the machine and didn't look at dmesg output that often. I am running FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE (as of a month or so ago, don't remember the exact date). My kernel was rebuilt yesterday using Monday's sources. This was noticed before the kernel rebuild. Doesn't anyone have any idea why it would be mis-reporting the drive size? Is this something I should worry about, even though it's working properly? I would like to have this resolved either way, so I don't get stuck if I ever have to re-partition the drive. Thanks for any help, -Chris P.S. Keep in mind that BIOS parms haven't changed between when it did and didn't work. Also, I do have a monitor on the machine now, if there is something I need to see on bootup.
