Hi all

I've some big problem with my new server Dell R710 + Perc raid + 6 disk of
600Go.

When I install the server or using sysinstall (partition) I can see my all
disk

Disk name:      mfid0                                  FDISK Partition Editor
DISK Geometry:  364456 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 5854985640 sectors (2858879MB)

but after I install the system and reboot I just can see half the size.

I've try a new install by creating some new primary partition with 1Go
size and put my / in this partition. 

But it's not working, by using fdisk I always see 

	******* Working on device /dev/mfid0 *******
	parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
	cylinders=364456 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
	
	Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
	parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
	cylinders=364456 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
	
	Media sector size is 512
	Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
	Information from DOS bootblock is:
	The data for partition 1 is:
	sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
	    start 63, size 2088387 (1019 Meg), flag 80 (active)
	        beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
	        end: cyl 129/ head 254/ sector 63
	The data for partition 2 is:
	sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
	    start 2088450, size 1557929894 (760707 Meg), flag 80 (active)
	        beg: cyl 130/ head 0/ sector 1;
	        end: cyl 1023/ head 165/ sector 59
	The data for partition 3 is:
	<UNUSED>
	The data for partition 4 is:
	<UNUSED>

How can I have all my disk ? (~3To). 

Regards.
