Quoting Brandon Fosdick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Now that my shiny new 9500S is installed and not fighting for IRQs,
I've created and initialized a ~2.5TB array using the bios utility.
So the next step is mounting the new array. I naively tried following
the regular handbook instructions for adding a new drive and failed
miserably. And after googling a bit I now know why, and realized that
I knew why before, but I was being stupid. I've seen a few mentions
of using gpt(8) and some vague references to using dedicated mode.
But I haven't seen anything that says "this is the Right Way to do
it". So...what's the proper way to make a large file system?
You can avoid the problem by splitting the array up in partitions smaller than
2TB each. (I know this does not answer your question, but it simplifies
things,
and it works for me(TM)... :-)
