Thanks a lot to Mr. Zbyslaw. Being too lazy myself to fiddle with the soft limit via the shell or bootloader, I did the following in the kernel build config file: options MAXDSIZ=(1024UL*1024*1024) options DFLDSIZ=(1024UL*1024*1024) This way, fsck works just fine. To address ot

Dear everyone, this is not an important issue, but I'd like to ask anyway, just in case the solution was obvious: I've bundled three 4TB RAID boxes using GEOM::stripe into a single 12TB volume. I didn't partition it, I just created UFS on it using newfs (a "dangerously dedicated" volume). T
