I install FreeBSD 8.3-R on a DL360 G8 with two disk volumes, the 2nd

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?
It's an MBR limitation, I think. Use GPT, which will also make
alignment to 4K blocks easier.
