Hello,
>From the 2.2.8 Release notes :
================================================================
RELEASE NOTES
FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE VERSION
================================================================
1. What's new since 2.2.7
-------------------------
Kernel features:
----------------
o Add support for >8G IDE drives.
[more]
So, you must install a version more recent than 2.2.8-R (-Stable, for
example)
TfH
> I have recently purchased a brand new Dell Dimension XPS vPii350 w/
128mg of
> ram and the largest harddisk I could -- we are currently running a
FreeBSD
> v2.2.x Server on an older 200 mhz MMX. with 4gig.
>
> The new computer has come with a Maxtor DiamondMax 4320, which by
convention
> is breaking the 8.4 gig limits. The BIOS is recognizing the harddisk
> correctly, and showing it to be of 17.2gig, but we cannot get the
partition
> manager to allow us more than 8gig partition. We have tryed manually
> entering the drives geometry, but that is not doing the trick.
>
> Do you know of any support documents, or know an answer to this
problem. As
> you might imagine, we are hoping to use all 17gig of harddisk space.
We
> would like to cut the drive in 1/2, using 8gig for the /usr and split
the
> other 8 gig up between /var and /scr
>
> If you know of a document that would help us in accomplishing this, we
> appreciate it. And we are trying to use the holiday to configure this
--
> for whatever reason I did not think this was going to be a problem.
And of
> course we have larger problems of moving from one machine to the other
to
> face, so any help, direction, documents, etc. that you might be able to
send
> my way, I really appreciate it.

> Thanks
