Subject:   Does FreeBSD have any issues with larger IDE drives?

I realize this is probably a silly question to ask, yet when I did ask the
linux community (circa 2.2.13) the same question, the answer was a
resounding no... and completely wrong.  I completely lost all the data on
the drive due to it seeing every cluster after a certain point and just
wiping them in the bootup fsck.  So I ask you now, are there any known
issues with large (meaning 33.8+ gig) IDE drives currently in the 3.4
release?  If not, are there any things I should be aware of, as it is
currently one large ext2 partition?  Can I leave it as such without any
problems?

Thank you,
- Jay Oliver
