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? All of the drivers seem to installed; at least they say they are.
Is this just too big for FreeBSD?  I hope not!

Help!
Zero out the first few tracks of da0 to clean off any cruft and use gpt to create the label

(from memory, did this August 2005)

gpt create /dev/da0
gpt add /dev/da0

newfs -youroptionshere /dev/da0p1


---------

df -h /3ware
Filesystem    Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/da0p1    4.0T    3.8T    161G    96%    /3ware
