Re: [zfs-discuss] The format command crashes on 3TB disk but zpool create ok

Technically, fdisk is a program and labels (partitioning tables) are MBR and EFI/GPT :) And fdisk at least in OpenIndiana can explicitly label a disk as EFI, similarly to what ZFS does when given the whole disk to a pool. You might also have luck with GNU parted, though I've had older builds (i.e. in SXCE) crash on 3Tb disks too, including one that's labeled as EFI and used in a pool on the same SXCE. There were no such problems with newer build of parted as in OI, so that disk was in fact labeled for SXCE while the box was booted with OI LiveCD.

Re: [zfs-discuss] The format command crashes on 3TB disk but zpool create ok
From: zfs-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org [mailto:zfs-discuss- boun...@opensolaris.org] On Behalf Of sol I added a 3TB Seagate disk (ST3000DM001) and ran the 'format' command but it crashed and dumped core. However the zpool 'create' command managed to create a pool on the whole disk (2.68 TB space). I hope that's only a problem with the format command and not with zfs or any other part of the kernel. Suspicion and conjecture only: I think format uses a fdisk label, which has a 2T limit. Normally it's advised to use the whole disk directly via zpool anyway, so hopefully that's a good solution for you. ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Hey Sol, Can you send me the core file, please? I would like to file a bug for this problem.
