Hmm, I (already) did:
# newfs -I -O2 raid0d
/dev/rraid0d: 813529.7MB (1666108800 sectors) block size 16384,
fragment size 2048 using 4399 cylinder groups of 184.94MB, 11836 blks,
22976 inodes.
super-block backups (for fsck_ffs -b #) at:
160, 378912, 757664, 1136416, 1515168, 1893920, 2272672, 2651424,
3030176,
......................
... which seems to work but only takes the wrong / limited raid0
partition size.
Setting the real raid0 disk size via newfs:
# newfs -I -O2 -s10256043392 raid0d
newfs: size 10256043392 exceeds maximum file system size on
`/dev/rraid0d' of 1666108800 sectors
... fails as already mentioned.
What do I do wrong!?
Markus.
