ons are accessed, so the underlying whole device must be less that 1TB as well. Fixing this requires updating the kernel all the way from the device drivers to the highest levels in the kernel, and even some system applications. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebs
