I've noticed that once I hit the 2TB mark it seems to fail, it looks like once it hits 2TB the size gets reset to 0.

Also when I use gvinum it succeeds, however given the state of the gvinum implementation I'd like to stick with vinum. > > > Suggestions/comments anyone? > What version of FreeBSD are you using? also I seem to remember from my readings somewhere that there is still a soft limit of 2TB depending on what and how you do it and that vinum had this problem.
