Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ccd0c 19603558 9573267 8462007 53% /var/spool/news Runs *FINE* :-) And I've seen a single 9Gb drive with a single filesystem on it work fine too. The problems occur with much larger (>512Gb I think) because of the structure of the UFS/FFS filesystem performace starts degrading, but it's ONLY performance, the stability isn't affected.
