I have copied Kris Kennaway and the FreeBSD filesystem mailing list in the hope that someone can give a more precise answer than me.

These days I saw a question on freebsd-questions mailing list that was left without a solution till now [see below]. Is there any chance that FFS can be extended to handle larger disks? Best regards. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Enrique Ayesta Perojo Date: 11-Jun-2007 11:13 Subject: Installing FreeBSD on large disk >2TB To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Hello I'm trying to install FreeBSD 6.2 on a HP DL320s. This server has a P400 RAID controller with 12 SATA disk drives attached to it. The RAID controller is supported in FreeBSD through the ciss driver. The problem happens when i try to use a RAID larger in size to 2 Terabyte, then the install program freezes and the machine reboots (it cannot find the disk). If the array is smaller than 2 Terabytes then there is no problem, the controller detects the disk and i can install FreeBSD on it. I have tried with i386 and AMD64 versions (the server has a Xeon processor supported by AMD64) Any clue on how to solve it? FreeBSD can't be installed on disks larger than 2 TB?
