Thanks very much to you both, all sorted now. I didn't realise there was
a 2TB limit for MBR either. Can I shrink the 4TB to 2TB on the zfs side
without scrambling the ufs on the guest?
You can snapshot the zvol to be safe, but you should be able to shrink it
to the existing partition size. If it's a sparse zvol, it may not may
that
much difference.
The zvol has about 515GB data. Hopefully zfs is smart enough to shrink
to the MBR boundary.
A ZVOL is just a container. ZFS has no implicit knowledge of what you are
using it for or whether it has any particular partition table inside it.
It's your responsibility to size the ZVOL appropriately. (TL;DR: ZVOLs
have no concept of an "MBR boundary.")
Cheers,
Paul.
