Curious if others have seen this.
I have a UltraSparc system with 14 disks. Six of them were part of a
zpool
and they all have EFI labels. The others do not.
The installer presents none of the EFI labeled disks to me as being
available. I choose the typical c0t0d0s0 in any case but all the
disks on controller c1 are totally absent.
We don't have any support for EFI labels in installation yet.
Well that answers that !
Any plans ?
It's on the list, but not being actively worked on. An answer I have to
give way too often for my, or anyone else's, satisfaction, I know :-(
Is this an issue related to GRUB and support for a ZFS boot ?
The most difficult problem on SPARC is that OBP knows how to read SMI
labels, but not EFI. ZFS boot support isn't expected to change this, at
least in its initial version, as we can just put an SMI label and VTOC
on and use ZFS within that structure, rather than pooling the whole disk
directly using EFI as ZFS would prefer. The pieces will come together
eventually to use EFI directly, but I don't know when.
