not when you can have 900gb
so its agreed then - gstripe the buggers and add geom_stripe_load="YES" to loader.conf
/dev/stripe/1TB 902G 4.0K 830G 0% /store - nothing has been uploaded to it yet, i thought you said i wouldn't loose anything X ?
How big are the drives actually? Not what the drive manufacturer says?
8% of the drive space is reserved by the system and cannot be written to, this is done so that it can on the fly defrag it, and keep all the files contiguous.
If you are using FreeBSD 7.0, give zfs a try.
zpool create tank ad4 ad6
zpool create tank/storage
It should now be mounted and ready for use. This is a dynamic stripe, so if later on you get another hard drive, you can do:
zpool add tank ad8
And now zfs will automatically make tank bigger, which also makes /tank/storage bigger.
