thank you, caspar. to sum up here (seems to have been a lot of confusion in this thread): the efi vs. smi thing that richard and a few other people have talked about is not the issue at the heart of this. this:
> 32 bit Solaris can use at most 2^31 as disk address; a disk block is > 512bytes, so in total it can address 2^40 bytes. > > A SMI label found in Solaris 10 (update 8?) and OpenSolaris has been enhanced > and can address 2TB but only on a 64 bit system. is what the problem is. so 32-bit zfs cannot use disks larger than 1(.09951)tb regardless of whether it's for the root pool or not. let me repeat that i do not consider this a "bug" and do not want to see it "fixed". _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
