Re: [zfs-discuss] Large device support
Hello J.P., Monday, July 17, 2006, 2:15:56 PM, you wrote: JPK Possibly not the right list, but the only appropriate one I knew about. JPK I have a Solaris box (just reinstalled to Sol 10 606) with a 3.19TB device JPK hanging off it, attatched by fibre. JPK Solaris refuses to see this device except as a 1.19 TB device. JPK Documentation that I have found JPK (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5093/6mkisoq1k?a=view#disksconcepts-17) JPK Suggests that this will not work with the ssd or sd drives. JPK Is this really the case? If that isn't supported, what is? Well if in fact sd/ssd with EFI labels still have limit to 2TB than create SMI label with one slice representing whole disk and then put zfs on that slice. Eventually manually turn on write cache then. -- Best regards, Robertmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://milek.blogspot.com ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

How do you suggest that I create a slice representing the whole disk? format (with or without -e) only sees 1.19TB Robertmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Julian -- Julian King Computer Officer, University of Cambridge, Unix Support ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Eventually manually turn on write cache then. Well, in fact it turned out that the firmware on the device needed upgrading to support the appropriate SCSI extensions. The documentation is still wrong in that it suggests that the ssd/sd driver shouldn't work with 2TB, but I am happy, so no problem.

As per my original post: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5093/6mkisoq1k?a=view#disksconcepts-17 This doesn't say which version of Solaris 10 it is talking about. The 2 TB limit was lifted in the Solaris 10 1/06 release, as described here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5093/6mkisoq1j?a=view#ftzen Thanks. That was exactly what I was looking for but had failed to find, confirmation that it should work.

Re[2]: [zfs-discuss] Large device support
I take it you already have solved the problem. Yes, my problems went away once my device supported the extended SCSI instruction set.
