3ware Serial ATA RAID Controller CLI Guide 
For operating systems that support units larger than 2TB, there is no need to 
set the policy to on unless you want the operating system to have multiple 
smaller volumes.
If you use a 32-bit operating system, it is recommended that you keep the 
policy on unless you know that your operating system supports disks that are 
larger than 2 TB. 
When the autocarve policy is off, all newly created units will consist of one 
single volume.
Example
:
 //localhost> /c0 show autocarve
 /c0 Auto-Carving Policy = on
/c
x
 show carvesize
This feature only applies to 9000 series controllers.
This command shows the maximum size of the volumes that will be created if 
the autocarve policy is set to on. The carvesize can be set between 1024 GB 
and 2048 GB. Default carvesize is 2048 GB (2 TB). For more information 
see, “/cx show autocarve” above. 
Example:
 //localhost> /c0 show carvesize
 /c0 Auto-Carving Size = 2000 GB
/c
x
 show memory
This command reports the size of the memory installed on the controller. 
                                      
Example:
 //localhost> /c0 show memory
 /c0 Memory Installed = 112MB
Note:
 The 9500S controllers ship with 128 MBytes of cache, yet only 112MB 
shows as memory installed. The other 16 MB is reserved for use by the controller.
