I lost a drive in mirrored scratch space on my Sol 10 system. The replacement drive came today so I booted 2017.10 to try to label it before moving it to Sol 10. But format(1m) did not see the disk. So I could find no way to put an EFI label on it. Sol 10_u8 at least can see the drive, but dumps core when it is selected.
I booted CentOS 6.7 and put a "GPT" label on it. I then moved it to Sol 10 where I was able to create a partition using" format -e". After that "zpool attach spool..." worked fine and it is resilvering the mirror. So how is one *supposed* to label a large disk in Hipster/Illumos? Surely shops running Illumos in production are not going through the gyrations I went through.
