Hi jlliagre,
Thanks for the confirmation. I am sorry to ask, i got a 6.4 SSD but just appear to be 5.82TB usable.

Using auto-configure, the partition table look as below.
From 0 to 12502430343 in partition 0, the amount of sectors 12502430344 seems to be more then the total available sectors 12502430317

Still got no idea where did i lost my 800GB of space...

Code:
partition> p
Current partition table (original):
Total disk sectors available: 12502430317 + 16384 (reserved sectors)

efi_mkdir(1M)															     efi_mkdir(1M)

NAME
efi_mkdir - make an EFI directory SYNOPSIS
devicefile] dirname DESCRIPTION
makes an EFI directory. The EFI file system is based on the FAT file system and used by the Itanium-based system BIOS to locate an HP-UX bootloader. See efi(4). creates directory dirname in the EFI volume specified by devicefile. If dirname already exists, exits with a diagnostic message, and the directory is not changed. If more than one subdirectory needs to be created to make dirname, exits with a diagnostic message and the directory is not changed, unless the option is specified. dirname should be relative to the root of the EFI volume specified by device- file, not to an HP-UX file system. Options Options can be used singly or combined in any order before the file names. The space between option and argument is optional. devicefile is the device special file of the EFI file system where the directory is to be made. Without the option, uses the device file specified in the environment variable if it is defined. The option overrides the environment variable. Create intermediate directories as necessary. RETURN VALUE
returns exit code 0 if the directory is made successfully. Otherwise it prints a diagnostic message and returns nonzero. 0 Successful completion. >0 Error condition occurred. EXAMPLES
Create directory in device file which contains an EFI file system: Create a directory in device file which contains an EFI file system, when does not exist yet: Create a directory in persistent device file (see intro(7)), which contains an EFI file system, when does not exist yet: AUTHOR
was developed by HP. SEE ALSO
efi_cp(1M), efi_fsinit(1M), efi_ls(1M), efi_rm(1M), efi_rmdir(1M), efi(4), intro(7). Itanium(R)-based Systems Only efi_mkdir(1M)
