Oh, and please reply to me directly please (perhaps with a cc to the list), since I am not subscribed to this mailing list. I think that fdisk can not handle disks which are larger than about 66GB. I currently have a system with two MAXTOR 4K080H4 (80GB) drives inside, but I can only use about 3/4 of the size due to this problem. Since I really want to start making real use of this system I am wondering if there is a workaround or fix/patch for this (and NO, I really want to make use of the whole disk and not just 60-something GB out of it ;-). A fast reply will really be appreciated! aTdHvAaNnKcSe, Unicorn. -- ======= _ __,;;;/ TimeWaster ================================================= ,;( )_, )~\| A Truly Wise Man Never Plays PGP: 64 07 5D 4C 3F 81 22 73 ;; // `--; Leapfrog With A Unicorn... 52 9D 87 08 51 AA 35 F0 ==='= ;\ = | ==== Youth is Not a Time in Life, It is a State of Mind! ======== Echelon Teasers: NSA CIA DIA FBI NRO KGB FAPSI FSB Mossad BVD MI5 MI6 GCHQ BND To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
