Hi, I have a 'backup box' which acts like a SCSI device with almost 2TB of available space. And, obviously, I would like to use it all. But I have encountered problems with fdisk (because of the number of cylinders, I imagine), and formatting the filesystem. So, I have the following questions: 1. Is there a 'modified' version of fdisk which works with large disks (mine is: da1: 2097144MB (4294950912 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 5204C)) 2. What kind of filesystem should I run on this thing? Is there any support for XFS or so for FreeBSD? 3. Are there any resources (documentation/mailing-lists/etc) which treat this problem? Thank you, bogdan ---------------------------- iCom Media AG Kirchweg 36 Koln, 50858 Germany Phone: +49-(0)221-485-689-16 Fax : +49-(0)221-485-689-20 Mobile:+49-(0)173-269-76-62 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
