Strange problem here, seems only to show up under OpenBSD 4.0 so far (verified 
not a noticeable problem under Gentoo Linux 2006.1 or Suse Linux 10.1):
2 brand new SATA2 Seagate 320 GB hard drives, completely wiped/unpartitioned.
wd0 reports correctly as:
total sectors = 625142448 
total free sectors = 625142448 
BUT wd1 reports incorrectly as:
total free sectors = 16514001
That is a fraction of the drive.

I tried re-wiping, partitioning, etc. to no avail.

Could it have anything to do with the LSI raid1 mirror fakeraid setup doing 
something strange with openbsd?

I instead tried installing gentoo 2006.1 and suse 10.1 and both worked fine, 
reporting the second drive (wd1) as the exact same as the primary drive 
(wd0).

But still prefer to go with openbsd if it's at all possible.

Any ideas why this might be happening?

Thanks!
