I'm planning to upgrade my two mirrored 500 GB SATAII rpool disks to 2x2TB disks. A friend with some Sun experience claims there was some problem with using ZFS on large disks, possibly because of block size on some new large disks. Can anyone enlighten me or point me to the proper docs or

There is no problem in general with 2TB+ data drives under OI, you can get some extra speed by using a modified zpool (http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/SATA+-+Advanced+Format+and+4K+Sector+drives) when you create but it works either way. As mentioned by some other posters, for boot drives you also h

The question isn't what's wrong. The question is how good the support is for disks with 4K sectors - which includes the WD EARS drives. I think some (most?) such drives can emulate a drive with 512 byte sectors, but with a performance hit, esp. if the filesystem has 4K or larger blocks that are m

Because disk labels issues only matter for boot loaders in most circumstances... If we could use EFI everywhere then there is no issue (32bit 2TB EFI is fine for example), however as you mentioned EFI boot loading is currently patchy due to BIOS issues. Which means for all practical consideratio

One think to keep in mind with SMB mounts (on both Linux or SunOS) is that all your access on the server happens with the credentials you specify to the mount command. Also, the owner, group, and modes you see locally are (usually) fiction. Hope that helps. On Mon, Feb 7, 2011 at 2:41 PM, Michel
