Hi All, I install FreeBSD 8.3-R on a DL360 G8 with two disk volumes, the 2nd of which is 3TB. The fdisk partition editor shows the disk geometry as 812160 cyl/255 heads/32 sectors = 6627225600 sectors (3235950MB). sysinstall creates a slice on the 3TB volume that uses the entire disk. However, when the filesystem is labelled and mounted, it is slightly over 1TB in size. Am I correct in assuming that it's only 1TB because the disk geometry is greater than what is supported by sysinstall and/or bsdlabel? -- Take care Rick Miller
