[zfs-discuss] ZFS on a 11TB HW RAID-5 controller
Hello all, I am a complete newbie to OpenSolaris, and must to setup a ZFS NAS. I do have linux experience, but have never used ZFS. I have tried to install OpenSolaris Developer 134 on a 11TB HW RAID-5 virtual disk, but after the installation I can only use one 2TB disk, and I cannot partition the rest. I realize that maximum partition size is 2TB, but I guess the rest must be usable. For hardware I am using HP ProLiant DL180G6, 12 1TB disks connected to P212 controller in RAID-5. Could someone direct me or suggest what I am doing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for your valuable experience and fast replies. I see your point and will create one virtual disk for the system and one for the storage pool. My RAID controller is battery backed up, so I'll leave write caching on.
