I am attemping to use a RocketRAID 2224 8 channel card to set up a
storage server. The server board is an Intel SE7230NH1-E with a P4-D
2.8GHz, 2GB RAM.
When I set up a RAID5 with 7 750GB drives I get nothing but wierdness.
Using sysinstall -> Configure -> Fdisk I can see the full size:
DISK Geometry: 547149 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 8789948685 sectors
(4291967MB)
But Label sees:
Disk: da0 Partition name: da0s1 Free: 200014030 blocks (97663MB)
What am I doing wrong?
Nothing. Sysinstall can't handle disks that big. There is a 2TB soft
limit. UFS2 can support disks up to 8 ZettaBytes (8,589,934,592
TeraBytes) but some of the software tools have not been converted yet,
