Hi, I tried to attach our new external RAID to my RENEG_5_4 box today using one logical drive of about 2326GB. The RAID was preconfigured with two 50% partitions which were assigned to two LUNs. FreeBSD 5.4 was able to detect those as da1 and da2 with full capacity. For particular reasons I need one filesystem. The support for this RAID told me just SuSE Linux and W2k3/64Bit Systems are able to access devices >2TB (64bit LBA) therefore the larger RAIDs are preconfigured with smaller partitions. For me there will be 2+1 solutions to get this running, a) (preferred): Having one logical drive w/o partitions or multiple LUNs by doing some magic at my KERNCONF b) reverting to 2 Partitions and doing ccd(4) on the resulting /dev/da(1|2) ... maybe ... c) upgrading to a closer-to-current version to have some "hidden feature" available? Any other solutions? What would you prefer / recommend? TIA Raphael Becker
