https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D253787 --- Comment #6 from rallenh@hotmail.com --- I have a workaround now: 6 (instead of 8) spindles in RAID 10 with two hot spares for 8.3TB. Use "best practices" vs taking the defaults from the FreeBSD Installer? Isn= 't that a best practice of sorts? It seems "Auto (UFS) Guided Disk Setup" doesn't work in all use cases? There are SATA drives bigger than 11.1TB these days. This isn't a big RAID setup. I am not a fan of ZFS. I'll pass, thank you. AFAIK, the controller I am using doesn't support JBOD, pass-through or a reflash to IT firmware. There are other Dell controllers that do support th= ose features, the H700/H800 do not. The error I get from bsdinstall (calling autopart) is here: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/master/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/part= edit/gpart_ops.c#L1064 It looks like geom is valid (there's a few guards) but the pointer to &firstfree could be the issue? Or something in gpart_max_free()? This commit seems sensible and maybe this is somewhere for me to start look= ing? https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/4af559e39b295c6950e25663f638d= 1737808a205 I wonder if the H700 is doing some funny business with sector sizes when the volume is over a specific size? Btw, I would say that there's a bug in bsdinstall here: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/de1aa3dab23c06fec962a14da3e7b47= 55c5880cf/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/auto#L328 bsdinstall autopart || error "Partitioning error" is failing in my case. Perhaps the error isn't making it back to the parent shell? I should be getting the error "Partitioning error" but I am not. I am getti= ng the error from partedit/autopart. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
