I've installed a 3ware 9500 sata controller with 4 1TB disks in raid 5. Apart from the usual wrong geometry warning the starting configuration is ok: I create a single partition with the default labels plus a /usr/home label with takes most of the disk space (about 2.7TB). When I reboot the system the /usr/home partition size drops unexplainably to about 640GB. In order to try to understand what happens I've installed freebsd anew, this time creating 2 partitions: the first one 50GB, the second about 2.7TB (the remaining space). Everything seems to work correctly. I reboot the system and lo! the second partitions shrinks to about 640GB and the partitioner (using sysinstall) tells me that there are 2048GB free! This happens both with freebsd 7 and 8 current amd64. Thanks for any help.
