filesystem size does not equal free space

[Rick Miller]

Hi All,

I install FreeBSD 8.3-R on a DL360 G8 with two disk volumes, the 2nd
of which is 3TB.  The fdisk partition editor shows the disk geometry
as 812160 cyl/255 heads/32 sectors = 6627225600 sectors (3235950MB).
sysinstall creates a slice on the 3TB volume that uses the entire
disk.  However, when the filesystem is labelled and mounted, it is
slightly over 1TB in size.  Am I correct in assuming that it's only
1TB because the disk geometry is greater than what is supported by
sysinstall and/or bsdlabel?
