Hello, I wasn't sure who to ask, so maybe you can point me in the right direction. I've got a 4.5-PRERELEASE system with an Fibre Channel storage system (QLogic 2200 via isp, Mylex FF2) that totals roughly 1.7 TB in size. I have been having a large degree of difficulty initializing the disk system with the normal tools (disklabel, fdisk and newfs), as *it appears* there may be some overflowing going on (32/64 bit or signed/unsigned). Disklabel won't write a good label: disklabel: ioctl DIOCWDINFO: open partition would move or shrink re-edit the label? [y]: n Newfs is reading a similar issue: > newfs -b 1048576 /dev/da1c preposterous size -794976256 (attempting to change the number of inodes and fragment sizes had a similar effect). By creating a custom disk type in the /etc/disktab file, I was successful in creating a 781284 Mb filesystem, but that was the largest I could create. Building a NTFS filesystem under Windows2000 and then mounting under FreeBSD, resulted in: > df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
