Hi all, I have a freshly installed 8.2-REL with a SuperMicro AOC-USASLP-L8i controller (LSI/MPT 1068E chipset). I have several of these controllers working nicely in other systems. However, this time I tried drives >2TB for the first time (Hitachi Deskstar 3TB). It appears that the mpt device reports only 2TB in this case. I have already flashed the controller's firmware to the latest available version (from 2009), but that did not change anything. The drive is working fine on the standard SATA connectors on the mainboard (Supermicro H8DME-2) and reports 2.8TB there. Are there any hints how to access the full drive? Am I seeing a limitation of the controller/firmware or rather of the driver (mpt)? cu Gerrit
