I have a 2TB WD drives that I would like to use as one big data partition.
I'm using UFS2. No raid, nothing fancy. I'm on FreeBSD 6.4 Release.
Under windows I can easily read/write about at ~75MB/s without doing
nothing but formatting it.
My friend has the same drives in Linux, he says he can get ~50MB/s on
his very low end system (crap cpu and only 256mb of ram).
Under FreeBSD, my write is at best ~6MB/s and read is about ~9MB/s. The
CPU, amount of ram, etc are all better than both the above boxes so
don't think it's bound by anything externally like that. From what I
read, the partitions aren't aligned correctly?
What's going on here? For start to finish, how should I partition and
format these so they don't suck?

Code:
[r...@fire2 ~/drive]# diskinfo -v /dev/da3
