On attaching it, FreeBSD claims it is only ~1TB in size. I have tried (in no particular order): rebooting, changing the SCSI card geometry munging option (does this do anything??), creating a partition using fdisk and gpt which covered the entirety of the disk, all to no = avail. To my na=EFve eyes it seems the mpt driver is not aware of "extended translation" however I cannot see where to fix this in the driver, or = have any confidence in this guess! Can someone tell me where to look next?
