Our experience shows that legacy PATA mode can in fact be in the way of correct recognition of ST31500341AS disks.
Under S10U6 using legacy mode "iostat -En" showed on our machine (ESB2 controller with 6 on-board SATA ports) Vendor: ATA Product: ST31500341AS Revision: CC1G Serial No: Size: 18446743374.98GB <18446743374981496832 bytes>. and format and zpool gave various errors. After switching the BIOS configuration to SATA AHCI mode the ST31500341AS disk gets recognized correctly and could be used without problems for zfs pools. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list storage-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
