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: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/pages/2008091102/ http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=363754 http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=241182 http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=241181 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
