Issue #2619 has been updated by swildner. Category changed from Driver to Kernel
This issue neither specific to the disk size nor to the mfi(4) driver generally. We have a guy in the IRC channel who runs DragonFly on a large system with (IIRC) 15x3TB with mfi(4): Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on ROOT 35T 1.6G 35T 0% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /pfs/@@-1:00001 35T 1.6G 35T 0% /var /pfs/@@-1:00002 35T 1.6G 35T 0% /tmp /pfs/@@-1:00003 35T 1.6G 35T 0% /usr /pfs/@@-1:00004 35T 1.6G 35T 0% /home /pfs/@@-1:00005 35T 1.6G 35T 0% /usr/obj /pfs/@@-1:00006 35T 1.6G 35T 0% /var/crash /pfs/@@-1:00007 35T 1.6G 35T 0% /var/tmp procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /proc ---------------------------------------- Bug #2619: DragonFly 3.6 can't be installed on a 6TB volume http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2619#change-11831 * Author: ftigeot * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: Kernel * Target version: ---------------------------------------- I tried to install DragonFly on a batch of Xeon E5v2 workstations. These machines have a 6TB mfid0 boot volume (RAID 5 of 4x2TB disks on a LSI 9260-4i adapter). The installation fails almost immediately and these messages are shown in a dialog box: fdisk: WARNING line 1: number of cylinders (726552) may be out of range (must be within 1-1024 for normal BIOS operation, unless the entire disk is dedicated to DragonFly fdisk: ERROR: could not adjust partition to start on a head boundary and end on a cylinder boundary. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
