I am almost a bit curious why you didn't go with a Microsoft based
solution in a situation like this, where you are needing to provide
SMB based file

No. Doesn't work. Fdisk couldn't figure out how to partition it
correctly. Actually it had a very hard time figuring out the correct
Cylinder, Heads, Sectors values that worked correctly. I gave up on
this.
I boot from a 3Ware RAID5 host array (160GB).

Hi Edgar,
Good to hear you finally got it running. Sounds like you went through
the same challenges I went through. I wound up getting FreeBSD
5.4-STABLE running and it's been stable for weeks. I put it through
quite a bit of load lately and it seems to running well.

Or don't bother with a partition table at all, which makes growing the
filesystem later on quite a bit easier.

If your array is just going to used for one large filesystem, you can
skip any partitioning steps and newfs the base device directly. then
if you decide to grow the array (and if your controller supports
nondestructive resizing), you can use growfs to expand the filesystem

All,
I have a project in which I have purchased the hardware to build a massive
file server (specifically for video). The array from all estimates will come
in at close to 5.8TB after overheard and formatting. Questions are:
What Version of BSD (5.3, 5.4, 4.X)?
What should the stripe size
I'm halfway through a project using about the same amount of storage,
5.6TB on an attach Apple XServe RAID. After everything I have about
4.4TB of usable space, 14 x 400GB HDDs in 2 RAID5 arrays.

2TB is the largest for UFS2. 1TB is the largest for UFS1.
Is the 2TB limit that you mention only for x86? This file system comparison
lists the maximum size to be much
From my experience mucking around with UFS1/UFS2 this is what I
learned. On UFS2 the largest filesystem you can have is 2TB. I tried
with a 2.2TB and it wouldn't handle it.
I read somewhere that with UFS2 you have 2^(32-1) 1K-blocks and UFS1
supports 2^(31-1) 1K blocks per filesystem. That is
