The box is running FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE (see below the dmesg excerpt). The drive is configured as ZFS pool on top of a GPT partition. I tried the 3 TB harddrive on a FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT box with Intel ICH10R SATA chipset and it worked fine, was reported as 2.7TB drive as expected. I found some postings concerning mptutil not dealing with HD > 2TB, but this issue seems not to be a tool-issue. Questions: a) Is this an issue of FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE or is it a firmware/BIOS issue which can be solved? b) regarding to a), how can I update the BIOS/MPT firmware of the Dell PowerEdge 1950? Is there an option to do this via USB? As I said, the firmware is quite old, it's from 2007. Thanks in advance, Oliver ========================== Copyright (c) 1992-2011 The FreeBSD Project.
