-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thanks Ted.
I'd be willing to test patches if OBSD needs it. Otherwise it looks like I have enough disk space in my hot spare to move the system over. When reformatting what block size should be used to reduce the fsck overhead. Per 14.7: "Larger fragments and/or blocks will reduce the number of inodes, andallow for larger file systems." It would be nice to format at least 1TB of my RAID with FFS2 and eventually grow the partition to the 3TB size when it becomes necessary. Is this possible without making another separate partition? Or do you make another partition and use softraid to make a JBOD? Pointing to the correct manual would be great. Thanks again for everyone's help. Just a lesson in pushing the department for funds to buy a UPS.
