Hello everyone,

I have recently added an Intel SASUC8I controller to my home file
server, and hooked up eight Western Digital Red 3000GB disks to it.

Only after I started filling up the new pool I noticed that the
capacity of the pool is not what I expected it to be.
And really: 'format' lists e. g. one of these disks as
   c1t0d0 <ATA-WDC WD30EFRX-68A-0A80-2.00TB>

As a couple more wild guesses:

1) How does (the HBA's) BIOS recognize them? Does it confirm that
the disks are 3Tb and not mis-marked on paper label? ;)

2) Is it possible that for some reason these disks use an MBR
partitioning table instead of GPT? The former would max out at 2Tb.
