Trying to disklabel a 1 TB disk (with sysinstall or disklabel) produces a lot of errors. In sysinstall, there's a kazillion overflows and negative offsets, and stuff. With disklabel, it tells me that the partition size needs to be truncated, then writes the label. then if I run disklabel again, it takes the truncated size, says it's too big, and truncates it again. Interestingly enough, using DOS FDISK to put a 32MB dos partition at the beginning of the drive makes it all work fine. I am not convinced that I am not missing some space, but I haven't counted up everything yet. In any case, is this supposed to work? I'll snag a ton of data if somebody wants to look at it, but I don't want to invest the time if it's not meant to. This is a 8 disk Maxtor 160GB disks in raid 5, on a 3ware 7850 with the 7.4 release firmware. -Stable supped as of 3/19.
