Hi all,

Last December, there was a thread on filesystems larger than 1 TB
(http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2002/12/06/0003.html).  What
is the current status of this?  I notice that Rev 1.63 of newfs/newfs.c
bumps the size, but I don't see a change to disklabel.  And thus:

red-stripe# dmesg | grep sd0
sd0 at scsibus0 target 1 lun 0: <APPLE, Xserve RAID, 1.16> disk fixed
sd0: 1035 GB, 132522 cyl, 128 head, 128 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 2171240448
sectors
red-stripe# disklabel sd0
disklabel: Invalid signature in mbr record 0
# /dev/rsd0d:
type: SCSI
disk: mydisk
label: fictitious
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 128
tracks/cylinder: 128
sectors/cylinder: 16384
cylinders: 132522
total sectors: -2123726848
rpm: 5410
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0           # microseconds
track-to-track seek: 0  # microseconds
drivedata: 0=20

4 partitions:
#        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
 a: -2123726848         0     4.2BSD      0     0     0  # (Cyl.      0
- 132521                                                            )
 d: -2123726848         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0
- 132521                                                            )
disklabel: boot block size 0
disklabel: super block size 0
red-stripe#=20

(How) can I disklabel this and keep it as one partition?
