Issue #2619 has been updated by ftigeot.
This may actually be a mfi-specific issue. The installer also failed to install DragonFly on a 300GB mfi volume. I fixed it by running fdisk -BI /dev/mfid0 from a shell. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2619: DragonFly 3.6 can't be installed on a 6TB volume http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2619#change-11825 * Author: ftigeot * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- I tried to install DragonFly on a batch of Xeon E5v2 workstations. These machines have a 6TB mfid0 boot volume (RAID 5 of 4x2TB disks on a LSI 9260-4i adapter). The installation fails almost immediately and these messages are shown in a dialog box: fdisk: WARNING line 1: number of cylinders (726552) may be out of range (must be within 1-1024 for normal BIOS operation, unless the entire disk is dedicated to DragonFly fdisk: ERROR: could not adjust partition to start on a head boundary and end on a cylinder boundary. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
