Hi The system installer breaks on a large disk (actually a RAID container) aacd0. For some reason it thinks that the disk is 6250496 sectors bigger than it actually is. aacd0: <RAID 5> on aac0 aacd0: 610190MB (1249669120 sectors) Yet, sysinstall has the size as 1255914653 sectors. This confused one of the "remote hands" quite significantly. Eventually I told him to just pick a small size and fix it once I could get onto the box. Ian -- Ian Freislich
