Hey all, In case the subject wasn't clear enough. I have a hardrive laying around that I'm thinking of adding to my FreeBSD system because I need some more space. I'm not sure the size of this drive, but the label says 6218 cylinders, 16 heads, and 63 sectors. I know there's a magic formula for figuring out the size of the disk using that information, but I'm not sure what it is or where to find it. And that's why I'm aksing for your friendly help. :) Thanks in advance for the information.
