Hmm, 6708609 "Support booting on disks > 1TB (phase 1)" added support for booting from disks > 1TB (the new limit it 2 TB). http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6708609 Phase 2, booting from disks > 2TB apparently is not yet supported: 6708612 "Support booting on disks > 1TB (phase 2, > 2TB)" http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6708612 I doubt that such a drive could be used as an (Open)Solaris boot drive... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list storage-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
