Hi,
I have trouble to create FreeBSD 7.1 i386 partition/slice to 3Ware 8port
raid kontroller with 8x500GB drives attached to it. Raid 5 massive is
3,1TB in size and during sysinstall installation I select whole
available space but after restart I can access only 1,2TB from it. What
is the problem?
MS-DOS fdisk partitions and bsdlabel partitions both have 32-bit
limitations on the file system size. You should use gpart to partition
the large volume. That is, except if you want to boot from it also -
then it's a bit problematic; it's best to create two logical drives in
your RAID controller - one small drive for the OS (something like 8 GB
to keep the ports and all) and the rest for the data.
I created 20GB slice for system and selected everything else for /data
but after restart I see again 1,2TB /data. After second sysinstall
attempt I created another 2TB slice and now at least I can use whole
space. Not so good but it works.
Second attempt:
Now I reserved 20GB for "boot volume" from 3Ware 9650SE controller and
looks like it ...oops...did it again....deem.
