You're probably out of luck as far as 2Tb+ support for 1068-based HBAs: http://kb.lsi.com/KnowledgebaseArticle16399.aspx Newer controllers based on LSI2008 (mps driver?) should not have that limit. --Artem _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
