Ok, I'll admit, I am very virgin to 9.1 (refused to upgrade my 7.2 until now). I have a HP DL360G3 with 4gb ram and 2 x 146gb SCSI U320 Drives in a Raid 0+1 configuration. This is to be my base OS install (and maybe a little storage) and an external MSA 30 (External 14 bay SCSI enclosure) will be added after this is set up, for some REAL storage.

[root@freenas ~]# geom disk list

[root@freenas ~]# gpart show da0

As you can see, I have about 134GB of unallocated space that I want to utilize, but I'm not sure how to get this added. Nowhere under Storage -> ZFS Volume Manager nor Storage -> UFS Volume Manager, does this space show up.

Can someone help me, and/or point me towards a how to that will explain what's up? Slight newb with this new setup, but have worked with Linux since Slackware in 95/96 and ZFS from Solaris 10 Sys Admin Certifications Part 1 & 2. I think I'm really just over thinking how this all works and what is setup where and how.

Pretty sure I found the answer to my question in the Documentation.

The FreeNAS® operating system is a running image. This means that it should not be installed onto a hard drive, but rather to a USB or compact flash device that is at least 2 GB in size. If you don't have compact flash, you can instead use a USB thumb drive that is dedicated to the running image and which stays inserted in the USB slot. While technically you can install FreeNAS® onto a hard drive, this is discouraged as you will lose the storage capacity of the drive. In other words, the operating system will take over the drive and will not allow you to store data on it, regardless of the size of the drive.
