I searched the mail archives, and found an "I'm not sure if 2.2.7 has fixed that". I created a partition table with more sectors (25165824 instead of the 16514064 that fdisk reported) but disklabel wouldn't let me specify more than 16514064 sectors. I am using 2.2.7-RELEASE. Any pointers would be appreciated. __o -\<, Rich Advertisements and attachments will be deleted unread.
