Depending on your allowable downtime after a crash, fscking even a

UFS file system can be a long time. For large file systems there's
really no alternative to using -CURRENT / 7.0, and either gjournal

I'll investigate this option. Does anyone know the stability
reliability of the mpt(4) driver on CURRENT? Is it out of GIANT lock
yet? It was hard to tell from the TODO list if it is entirely free
of GIANT or not.
My only fear of this is that once this system is in production,
that's pretty much it. Maintenance windows are about 1 year apart,
usually longer.
When you get there, you'll need to create 1 small RAID volume (<= 1
GB)
from which to boot (and probably use it for root) and use the rest for
whatever your choice is (doesn't really matter at this point). This is
because you can't have fdisk or bsdlabel partitions larger than 2
TB and
you can't boot from GPT.
So what your saying here is that I can't do either my option 1 or 2,
but have to create smaller volumes exported as individual drives? Or
just that I can't do 1, because my case 2 I could make three 2Tb
fdisk slices which bsdlabel can then partition?
