Re: [osol-discuss] External disk 1TB

2010-07-28 Thread Steve Mokris
This suggestion of relabeling the 1TB disks using an EFI label doesn't work for me --- when OpenSolaris produces the disk has 2930277168 blocks, which is too large for a 32-bit kernel error, it doesn't register any block devices for that disk, so there's no way to specify to format -e which

Thanks all for your responses. I understand the shortcoming about the 32-bit data type and I can understand that this is not possible to overcome. I thought that a workaround would be to somehow disguise the disk to report a 1TB size or trick Opensolaris to think that a 1TB disk in connected and
