Hi all,

I just installed Opensolaris 2009.06 on my laptop, uname -a shows:
SunOS tank 5.11 snv_111b i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris

When I attach one of my 1.5TB usb disks I get the error below:
---cut here---
Sep 10 12:21:11 tank scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /p...@0
,0/pci1025,1...@1d,7/stor...@1/d...@0,0 (sd2):
Sep 10 12:21:11 tank     disk has 2930277168 blocks, which is too large for
a 32-bit kernel
---cut here---

and of course I cannot see the drive with rmformat.

Taking a look at the links below:

it seems that you cannot get disks >1TB to work under Solaris/OpenSolaris.

I also confirmed the same error when booting in single user mode with
Solaris Express b122.

I am posting this just for someone to confirm that there is no workaround to
use >1TB disks.
It seems absurd to me that you cannot use the cheap 1.5TB & 2TB out there
with ZFS. This will have me switch to one of the Linux distros, despite
hating the idea of using something else than ZFS.

Thanks in advance,
Vassilis
