 In the Disklabel Editor da1s1 has 0MB free, and da1s1d is the only
 da1s1 label with a size of 1444GB.


The output of
% bsdlabel da1s1
might be very enlightening here.

As an aside, you might spend some time learning the
command line utilities.
% man 8 fdisk
% man 8 bsdlabel

Thanks for the tip.

# /dev/da1s1:
8 partitions:
#size   offsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  c: 30291304010unused0 0 # raw  
part, don't edit

  d: 302913040104.2BSD 2048 16384 28528

Unfortunately for me, I do not really know what I am looking at here.

I just noticed from man 8 bsdlabel:

COMPATIBILITY
 Due to the use of an u_int32_t to store the number of sectors, BSD labels
 are restricted to a maximum of 2^32-1 sectors.  This usually means 2TB of
 disk space.  Larger disks should be partitioned using another method such
 as gpt(8).

I suspect this applies to amd64.  man 8 fdisk makes no
mention of data size problems, but I would suspect it as
well.

Hi Everyone,

I have installed FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE amd64 on a new boxen... and just
realized that I am missing just a 'little' bit of storage space ;)

sudo sysinstall -- does it still read as 3.4 TB ? aka a df bug ?
not likely
