filesystem size does not equal free space
Hi All, I install FreeBSD 8.3-R on a DL360 G8 with two disk volumes, the 2nd of which is 3TB. The fdisk partition editor shows the disk geometry as 812160 cyl/255 heads/32 sectors = 6627225600 sectors (3235950MB). sysinstall creates a slice on the 3TB volume that uses the entire disk. However, when the filesystem is labelled and mounted, it is slightly over 1TB in size. Am I correct in assuming that it's only 1TB because the disk geometry is greater than what is supported by sysinstall and/or bsdlabel? -- Take care Rick Miller ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Several sources claim that there is a one terabyte soft limit, but that with modifications to the default setup you can quadruple that or even more. And, of course, now we have ufs2 ...

Where would I look for info? http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2003-April/001444.html describes the new filesystem in the 5.x versions. it notes that: It adds 64 bit block pointers (breaking the 1T barrier) It would be more accurate to say obliterate, since 64 bit pointers goes up to petabytes if memory serves me right. But for now, one would have to put up with the -current nature of 5.x. Make sure to read the early adopters guide and www.freebsd.org/handbook for what that means.
