Did you tried partitioning with gpart and then UFS2 + SoftUpdates on /dev/da0p1? I am using it with 7.2-STABLE from January and iscsi_initiator 2.2.4 on Dell MD3000i (2.7TB partition) gpart create -s GPT da0 gpart add -b 34 -s 205520830 -t freebsd-ufs -l MyLabel da0 newfs -U /dev/da0p1 Just substitute 205520830 with size of your storage.
