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, see here: http://www.freebsd.org/projects/bigdisk/index.html -- BSD Podcasts @: http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ http://freebsdforall.blogspot.com/ ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
