Trying to install 4.3 from scratch onto the machine I use as my home
file server, coming against a problem. The previous configuration was
4x160g as a RAID-5 for OS/support/whatever, and 4x300g drives RAID-5 for
samba. I've changed the config so that it's now 2x160 as RAID-1, and
6x300 as RAID-5, necessitating the reinstall. The problem I'm having is
that the 1.5T array now exceeds the install script's 2^31-1 limitation
of an FFS filesystem. Is there a way I can pass "-O 2" to newfs during
installation (telling it to use FFS2), or am I better off using growfs
once the system is up and running?
