How do I add my 2TB (1.8TB usable) USB drive to my Raspberry pi setup?

[mrjayviper]

I tried # gpart create -s gpt da0 but it says

Invalid argument: gpt

I can use MBR without any problems but when I try to create a UFS partition using # gpart add -t freebsd-ufs da0 it says

Invalid argument

I've tried various partition sizes from 100 GB to 1600 GB without any success.

Does anyone have ideas on how to make it work? Thanks.

Raspberry Pi? What does that have to do with FreeBSD? Are you running FreeBSD on it or is it the standard Linux?

I'm not sure, but RPI-B doesn't have this line:

options         GEOM_PART_GPT

Maybe you want to try adding this line into your Raspberry Pi kernel configuration file.

P.S.: @SirDice, FreeBSD is now available on Raspberry Pi (Link)

I have none. The /usr/src folder is blank. I downloaded the snapshot from this page.

Ok, try:

# kldload geom_part_gpt

If that module doesn't exist, you have to build your own Raspberry Pi image. (Link)

Nice. With a USB LAN adapter, that might make a decent ADSL gateway/firewall... hmmm...
