I have come a bit further. It seems that if I create a 2TB drive it all goe= s good. But it doesn't seems to work when doing a large 5TB drive. Is there some limitations on fdisk, and the size on partitions? Can't it exceed 2TB? The machine is a ordinary Core 2 duo 6750 with 4GB of ram. /Regards Goran On Dec 13, 2007 5:39 PM, G=F6ran Nilsson <goran.nilsson@gmail.com> wrote: > On the controller there it says that it supports freebsd 6.1.
