Hi,
We'd like to partition large-sized (e.g., 4TB or above) HDD disks into 2TB partitions, and read from Oracle Solaris mannual that Solaris (on x86 paltform) can't recognize the disk space beyond 2TB when using partition unless the disk is used as a whole. Wondering whether it is the case? Our intention is that: divide large-sized HDDs into 2TB partitions and expose each parition (as a device) using COMSTAR. This is the fundamental design of our storage virtualization system. If we can't partiton large-sized HDD disks in this way, we have to create zpool for each single disk and allocate fix-sized volumes (on the pool) and expose each volume using COMSTAR. The solution works file but bears greater ZFS performance cost. Your information will be appreciated.
