FWIW - I see this 128G limit as well. I didn't know about the other VMs being able to see them correctly. Hmm, this: http://www.vmware.com/support/gsx3/doc/disks_types_gsx.html, suggests that it is/was VMware: Physical disks may be set up on both IDE and SCSI devices. Physical disks can be as large as 128GB when configured as IDE or 256GB when configured as SCSI. Hmm, that was for GSX 3. The current docs state that virtual disks can be 950GB and physical disks can be 2TB. I'll keep poking around. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
