Thanks to all for your detailed and informative replies to my questions. I

I can't speak for anyone else, but long posts don't bother me. I hope

I have installed my laptop with FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 first (now I'm on

I suspect I know the answer to this question but I'll ask it anyway. We're
dealing with some very large disks (11TB raid array) and a newfs operation
takes a significant time. Is there any way to get a volume formatted faster
than the typical newfs does?
