I now have a NetBSD-8/i386 machine with a 3TB disk: wd1 at atabus1 drive 0 wd1: <ST3000DM001-1ER166> wd1: drive supports 16-sector PIO transfers, LBA48 addressing wd1: 2794 GB, 5814021 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 5860533168 sectors wd1: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 6 (Ultra/133) wd1(ahcisata0:1:0): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 6 (Ultra/133) (using DMA) When I try to use fdisk to create a partition, it won't let me go higher than 2TB. I tried just using disklabel as well, and I have the same problem. I see a Wiki page about creating wedges but it's talking about using ccd and raid which I don't want to do. I just want a regular 3TB disk with 1 ffsv2 partition. Where should I start? I'm not finding "official" documentation (in the guide for example). Andy
