Re: [zfs-discuss] 2TB drive will not work on motherboard

I got the motherboard wrong. It is a P45 Neo3-FR. The onboard ethernet is flaky, but "supported", and the USB attached drives work fine w/ 2TB drives, but not the motherboard attached SATA ports... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-di

this is for newbies like myself: I used using 'zdb -l' wrong, just using the drive name from 'zpool status' or format which is like c6d1, didn't work. I needed to add s0 to the end: zdb -l /dev/dsk/c6d1s0 gives me a good looking label ( I think ). The pool_guid values are the same for all

First off double thanks for replying to my post. I tried to your advice but something is way wrong. I have all 2TB drives disconnected, and the 7 500GB drives connected. All 7 show up in bios and in format. Here all the drives are the original 7 500Mb drives: # format Searching for disk
