Divvy command
I am trying to configure a usb 2Tb hard drive to be used as a backup device. I am having a problem setting the file system on c2b0t0d0p1s1. Can anyone point me to a resource with a resolution?
Code:
+-------------------+------------+--------+---+-------------+------------+
| Name              | Type       | New FS | # | First Block | Last Block |
+-------------------+------------+--------+---+-------------+------------+
| d00110            | vxfs       |  no    | 0 |            0|        1000|
| c2b0t0d0p1s1      | vxfs       |  yes   | 1 |         1001|  1953445787|

| c2b0t0d0p1s6      | NOT USED   |  no    | 6 |            -|           -|
| d00117all         | WHOLE DISK |  no    | 7 |            0|  1953509795|

What operating system is this?

(Perhaps 2TB is too big a filesystem for this O/S. I would try a small size and see if it works. If so, increase the size in stages until you find what the limit is. Alternatively RTFM for your O/S.)

I may be completely wrong on this but IMHO it's the first thing to try.

Other than that, I can't see anything obvious that you're doing wrong.

Also, are you running this as root user or non-root user?

And, what hardware is it?
