I wonder if there is a limit on the size of disk to mount for Solaris. I was able to run "format" on a WD 1TB disk several months ago. The diff is that it's a 2.5TB one this time. It might also be a driver issue. Need to ck on that. honeybun# zpool create test_pool c5t0d0 cannot open '/dev/dsk/

You can try #fdisk /dev/rdsk/c5d0t0p0 to delete all the partitions and exit. You don't have to create EFI partition in fdisk(1M) because it only create the PMBR but not the EFI label. Then try format -e again. The panic sounds like a bug in USB driver to me. Larry 于 2011/6/22 13:48, Kitt

I am trying to mount a WD 2.5TB external drive (was IFS:NTFS) to my OSS box. After connecting it to my Ultra24, I ran "pfexec fdisk /dev/rdsk/c5t0d0p0" and changed the Type to EFI. Then, "format -e" or "format" showed the disk was config with 291.10GB only. Selecting a disk would crash my OSS bo
