I have seen conflicting information on the internet about this, and so I would like a direct answer from someone who knows for sure. Does FreeBSD's ZFS work with 3TB drives, and is it possible to do a ZFS-only (i.e. boot from ZFS) installation with 3TB drives on FreeBSD? I presume that since ZFS was designed to handle huge filesystems, it would have no problem with 3TB drives, but I guess the real question is the ZFS boot code - can it currently handle >2TB drives? Bottom line: would I be able to successfully build (and of course boot) a FreeBSD ZFS-only system using only 3TB drives? Thanks, Gary
