            Bug ID: 247728
           Summary: If a user's install disk exceeds 2tb in size, have the
                    installer select gpt not dos
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: brian@brianwhalen.net

If a user has a disk over 2 TB in size and tries to install to it, with an
amd64 version of a 12.1 release at least, when it comes time to partition t=
he
disk, the installer selects dos. If a user proceeds with this, then the sys=
tem
will only use 2TB of the disk, whereas if the installer detected this and
selected gpt, then if that is used, the entire disk will be seen.
