I just got a 3 TB Toshiba USB disk to use for backups for Sol 10 & OI. BIG mistake!
4k sectors. sol 10 u8 kernel panics when the disk is selected in format(1m). At least selecting the replacement 3 TB Hitachi SATA drive just crashed format. OI 151a7 can select the drive, but won't write a label to the drive. I get a spurious "warning drive may be in use" message for most operations in format. The only way I can even attempt to label the drive is via format->type but that fails w/ a message about writing geometry. I had been under the impression that large USB drives were usable w/ OI, but clearly "actual mileage may vary". Any suggestions? At this point I'm accumulating a pretty high end Linux box from pieces Solaris & OpenIndiana can't use.
