hey Doc Modiford - a lot of commands accept a -h(uman-readable) argument =)

The -g should be -h (that's been wrong for a while!)

 To allow data to be written to the RAID0 drive it must be formatted.  FreeBSD has a native file system called [[UFS2]] but is also capable of reading and writing to file systems of other operating systems.  These "foreign" file systems include Microsoft's variations of the FAT system (called 'MSDOS' on FreeBSD).  Since Samba will be running locally on this system the file system will be the native UFS2 and is created using the following command.

 The "-U" instructs newfs to enable [[soft updates]] on the file system as it is formatted.  The command will fill the screen with output similar to the following.

+The "-h" shows free space in "human readable" blocksize - which may be kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, or even petabytes as appropriate.  (You may also ask for a specific blocksize directly; for example "df -g" shows free space in gigabytes whether that "seems like" the most readable option or not.)

 This will allow you to use the RAID0 drive much like any other drive on the system.  The drive can be verified and the free space determined by using the [[df]] command.
