The following basic label: # /dev/da0: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 5859115008 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit Gives the following error: partition c: partition extends past end of unit disklabel: partition c doesn't cover the whole unit! disklabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities Using fdisk or sysinstall to label the drive yields a ~700Gig partition as follows: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 1157627904 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit e: 1155530752 0 4.2BSD 4096 32768 0 DMESG from the controller: da0 at twa0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <3ware Logical Disk 00 1.00> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 100.000MB/s transfers da0: 2860896MB (5859115008 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 364713C) I have a 5.1-RELEASE system with a 3ware 8000 series controller and a 1.7 Terabyte array for which the handbook procedure for adding a dedicated disk worked perfectly. >How-To-Repeat: Handbook procedure for adding a dedicated disk to the system consistently returns the error. I've tried variations on partition sizes, made partition c smaller than the block size reported via dmesg on the controller, etc. >Fix: None known. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
