MS-DOS fdisk partitions and bsdlabel partitions both have 32-bit limitations on the file system size. You should use gpart to partition the large volume. That is, except if you want to boot from it also - then it's a bit problematic; it's best to create two logical drives in your RAID controller - one small drive for the OS (something like 8 GB to keep the ports and all) and the rest for the data. --------------enig4A15C55AB98A769B61E50BA7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJyjnDldnAQVacBcgRAgMUAKDTbIGF2hbLkYl4ifzntl5tpYuwlACg1EjJ nisfXuP9fg9Dmtw4YeBW4YI= =we5R -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig4A15C55AB98A769B61E50BA7--
