Seems like a shame to boot a nice 9TB disk pack off a floppy Disk or a
Pen drive. I mean you do what you have to but that just screams
'workaround'
Or worrying about 1 minute longer boot cycle on 90 days+ uptime screams
doesn't matter at all. it is workaround, but over strange BIOS software,
On our older servers that wouldn't even recognize a 2TB partition
(which is where the OS was too), we used a CF card and CF card adapter
to boot from. Slightly more gracious...
CD/DVD drive isn't bad too. anyway - you don't change kernel every day.
or pendrive. possibly floppy but i don't know

you talk about VM, not real memory. i don't think making 10GB swap is a
problem.
The problem is the time that it will take to fsck a 9TB filesystem.
depends mostly of file count not size.
my 1.4TB partition is checked shorter than 20GB squid partition

it will be most likely large 32K blocks, so quick fsck and little RAM
In my experience with UFS2 and fsck you will want to have a gig of ram per TB
of filesystem. You can get by with less sometimes, eventually you'll get
bit. Most mere mortals don't take UFS2 past 6-8TB in production.

so better you think a little more before execute and do some tests
before production too..
That looks like what I need. I've got a seperate 32GB array to boot
off of, so that's perfect. Now to just read some man pages. Thanks!
How many memory do you have in this machine ?? To fsck 9 TB you will
there is swap too . but my 1.4TB partition can be fsck'ed on 1GB RAM
without swap.

How many memory do you have in this machine ?? To fsck 9 TB you will
need a LOT of memory

Hmm...didn't think of that...didn't think fsck used that much
RAM...and thought it was independent of the file system size. Right
now it's got 2GB.

Hi all. I'm trying to create a ~9TB partition on a new file server.
I thought FreeBSD now supported this (I'm on 7.0), but I can't figure
it out. I go into sysinstall, create the partition in fdisk using "A
= Use Entire Disk), write it to disk, exit sysinstall and re-run
it...and sysinstall does
