Is it possible to do an install using 4K blocks with ZFS (with it querying the underlying disk) or is it necessary to do an install with a 512 byte blocks for root and then migrate over to a 4K disk afterwards using the various methods posted on the web?
I recall that the most recent (or nearly so) discussion on the subject ended in integration of overrides for sd.conf to enforce particular sector size for your drives. See here: http://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/ZFS+and+Advanced+Format+disks Hopefully, you (and recent oi) can do this: 1) Boot from Live media installer 2) Override the current sd.conf like this pattern: sd-config-list = "SEAGATE ST3300657SS", "physical-block-size:4096", "DGC RAID", "physical-block-size:4096", "NETAPP LUN", "physical-block-size:4096"; 3) Run "update_drv -vf sd" 3*) For a quick check, create the rpool yourself from command-line and "zdb -L rpool | grep ashift" to validate the sector size used 4) Detect the disks with the installation wizard and set up the system in its supported ways. Whatever value is used for the pool, will be used afterwards regardless of sd.conf overrides, but you may want to make that sure these tweaks - if they help - make it into your installed OS (i.e. to add other pools on other partitions of the same drive later). Since much of the installation is "cpio" from the running image of live media, the changed sd.conf might just get copied over. Validate to make sure ;) Also I am not certain whether GRUB supports 4K sectors for boot drives, or if some other parts of the system would complain - so please write to the list (and/or the Wiki page) about the results of your experiment ;) HTH, //Jim Klimov ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
