Hi there.. I hope this is the correct mailing list to ask this question. I have a Dell Poweredge R710 server (brand new)... 7.2-RELEASE installs fine but I'm having a problem getting any large partitions over approximately 500GB. During the installation it allows me to create 4.5TB partition but after rebooting it's only really 500GB +/- Has anyone successfully installed into a disk this large? This is a RAID5 array using the Dell Perc 6/I controller I have installed now 6+ times with smaller partitions (100GB even) and run into problems . hoping someone could share how they got large disk support working.. I'd be happy with several 1TB partitions but when I configure it this way and exceed 4 partitions it tells me disk error creating partitions.. Thanks, Paul
