Hi Roel,
If i remember well this 2k sector problem has been discussed last week on
this mailinglist.
I am very interested in how do use these drives since i want to buy some as
well.
After my struggles of last week to get the pool to be created with ashift=12 I
just finished the

Just out of interest, what size does your BIOS think that the drive is?

have you tried the latest hard-disk firmware?

do you know what your IO controller is?

It looks like this disk has a Solaris VTOC on it so ZFS will only use
the partition size that was manually created (or came shipped with the
drive).
Can you try running 'zpool create pool diskname_without_sliceinfo'?
Example: zpool create test c4t0d0

From my notes configuring a 3 TB Hitachi in June 2011 on Sol 10 u8.
After considerable fubar, the key to formatting the 3 TB disk was to use,
'format -e', supply LBA pseudo geometry create an EFI label. NB Must run
fdisk from inside format.

The firmware utility requires the drive to be the only HDD in the
system, and attached to a SATA port. This is a USB-attached drive (in a
SATA/USB enclosure), and the eighth HDD connected to the system. Since
it's also brand new, I don't know what the firmware would give me that

Yeah, I always use the whole disk (c4t0d0). Interestingly enough, I have
to use slice 0 (c4t0d0s0) partition if I want to use the slice
specification to get the whole disk; slice 2 doesn't exist, as you can
see from the partition info. And slice 0, the whole disk, says it's
only 746GB, same as
I wish you'd been more verbose too. ;-) Maybe it will let me modify

That's very odd. If you specified the whole disk (c4t0d0) when you do
the 'zpool create' then zfs should have relabeled the disk as an EFI
label. From your post it looks like it's still using a Solaris VTOC label:
Total disk size is 48725 cylinders
Cylinder size is 32130 (512
Hi Rainer!

Are you sure the controller chip in your SATA/USB enclosure can
deal with more than 2TB of disk?
All such enclosures I have either truncate at 2TB or worse, they wrap
around. A disk with 3000GB (decimal) will give you just
zpool create zname c4t0d0 succeeds, but this whacky partition table is
what format is showing me. I did, at some point, see the EFI message you
have, but I've been running in circles so much... When it did show this,
it still said 746GB.

I'll see if I can swap the disk with one of my internals and see what
happens.

There are at least 3 issues here:
1) USB drives can't use format(1m). The man page for rmformat(1m) suggests it
will create an EFI label for disks over 1 TB, but it doesn't appear to work.

2) The USB mass storage driver may not handle disks over 1 TB. I know that was

You can't use format(1m) for USB drives in Solaris 10 up to at least u8. I've

Aside from the fact that we were discussing hdd's in the original

Bingo! I unplugged one of my internal data drives (after removing it
from the ZFS mirror) and hooked up the 3TB drive.
Went into the BIOS: 3TB

Did a zpool create, there is a new 2.72TB pool.
Yippee! Thank you!

Something worth noting, if you intend to purchase a card to expand via SATA
drives, is that SATA controllers and OI smartctl don't get along yet (the
interface for ATA commands isn't implemented, I think is the story), if you
get a SAS/SAS2 controller, you can get smartctl to work with -d sat on
