Dear everyone, this is not an important issue, but I'd like to ask anyway, just in case the solution was obvious: I've bundled three 4TB RAID boxes using GEOM::stripe into a single 12TB volume. I didn't partition it, I just created UFS on it using newfs (a "dangerously dedicated" volume). This is not a production setup, I'm just testing the hardware. I thought "fsck" would be a plausible benchmarking tool. -bash-2.05b# fsck_ufs /dev/stripe/data ** /dev/stripe/data cannot alloc 768053748 bytes for blockmap ***** FILE SYSTEM MARKED DIRTY ***** After a forced mount, the 12TB volume works fine. It just can't be fsck'ed. The machine is a dual Xeon/Nocona + i7520, with 2 GB of RAM, running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE with an SMP kernel. Any ideas are welcome :-) Frank Rysanek
