Group plc X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.08 [en] (WinNT; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Big IDE disks? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm trying to install an 18 GB EIDE disk on FreeBSD 2.2.7. The BIOS concedes that it is big, after I enable "S.M.A.R.T." (whatever that is), but fdisk refuses to believe it is any larger than 8 GB. Is there a way to make this work?
