I successfully used the 3ware 'tw-cli' utility to perform "Online Capacity Expansion." The controller migrated the existing data across all 4 disks, and it now reports a total volume capacity of 2095.44GB. Excellent. So, the issue I'm having is with getting FreeBSD 7.0-Release to recognize the additional space. I've seen scant few articles on the subject, the best of which is here: http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200111/growfs.html My primary issue right now is that when I attempt to run disklabel on the volume (/dev/da0) in order to get my calculations for fdisk, i get: # disklabel /dev/da0 disklabel: disks with more than 2^32-1 sectors are not supported and when I attempt it on the slice, i get: # disklabel /dev/da0s1 disklabel: /dev/da0s1: no valid label found What's the trick here? Thanks in advance, Darren David
