ffs2
Ive read the faq 14.7 about large drives but im not quite sure i understand howto.
I got this 1.5tb seagatedisk and it has to be ffs2 aparently since ffs1 cant handle more then little less then 1tb. Its not meant for /, /var,/usr but more like /storage. how do i format the disk? doing man newfs give me this: Quote:

You need to use -O 2 to create a FFS2 filesystem, from newfs(8):
Code:
-O filesystem-format Select the filesystem format: 0 4.3BSD format file system. This option is primar- ily used to build root file systems that can be understood by older boot ROMs. 1 Fast File System (the default). 2 Enhanced Fast File System (FFS2).

But newfs -O 2 /dev/sd1a does not work for me. I need to specify the "raw" device name: newfs -O 2 /dev/rsd1a |
