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.
