Uhm, I think FreeBSD does have a 1 Tbyte filesystem limit (someone correct me if I'm wrong, please). > As more people use >137 GB > ATA drives, I hope to see more feedback on controllers and hard drives that > run successfully under FreeBSD (RAID especially). Well, I do have a 160 Gbyte drive (connected to a Promise TX2 Ultra-ATA-133 controller), but no RAID, I'm afraid. However, if I may add something to the »wish list«, then I'd certainly like atacontrol detach/reattach to work. Currently they don't seem to (just hangs).
