Sender: news@rci.ripco.com Message-ID: <Dy3ICz.3t9@rci.ripco.com> X-Nntp-Sender: dr@rci.ripco.com Date: Sat, 21 Sep 1996 18:36:35 GMT Organization: Ripco Communications Inc. Lines: 19 I've added drives to FreeBSD before, and it was always painful, getting the label added, etc. At least Sys-V systems tend to come with a single utility program (script) that steps you through the process. I recall a 2GB/filesystem limitation in the past, and also claims that this has been overcome in recent versions? Is it possible to add a 8-12 Gb SCSI-2 drive as a single, large, filesystem to a FreeBSD 2.1 system? Is there anything special to do in formatting very large drives?
