I would like to ask you for your advise with a problem I am having with BSDI. I have connected a RAID array to my BSDI box. RAID just looks like a huge SCSI hard drive to the host (28 GB). I ran disksetup -i and made one partition of 28Gb. Then I did newfs. No problems. I can mount this newly created filesystem but after that whenever i do df it shows that I have -0% free space and -xxxxxxx blocks available!!??? If I copy some files to this partition, free space becomes -1%, -2%, etc. I tried to reduce filesystem size to 14GB - same result from df. Finally, I have made that filesystem size = 8Gb and everything is fine! df doesn't do its weird thing any more. BSDI people told me that there is 256GB single filesystem limit. Did anybody else run into the same problem with huge filesystems? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here is my system config, just in case: DELL P-90 BSDI v 2.1 Buslogic-956C SCSI adapter 64 Mb RAM Thanks a lot, Vadim Dudkin
