Hi all, I am experiencing an issue when trying to set up a large ZFS volume in OpenSolaris build 74 and the same problem in Nexenta alpha 7. I have looked on Google for the error and have found zero (yes, ZERO) results, so I'm quite surprised! Please can someone help?
I am setting up a test environment in VMware Workstation 6.0 before I unleash this on real hardware. The virtual system has an IDE HDD, IDE CD-ROM and 4 750 GB SCSI disks (c2t0d0 --> c2t3d0). Once working, I hope to use the iSCSI target to see the volume from a Windows box. I create the zpool with: [i]zpool create zp raidz c2t0d0 c2t1d0 c2t2d0 c2t3d0[/i] This completes fine, and then a [i]zpool iostat[/i] reports the pool as having 2.93T free. All makes sense so far. Then, I try to create a ZFS volume in there of size 1.25T with the following command: zfs create -V 1.25T zp/test This then fails with: cannot create 'zp/test': volume size exceeds limit for this system Please can someone help me with this? I've tried making sense of the word "system" in this context but haven't come up with much. A volume of 1T works fine. Could it be something to do with having a 32 bit CPU?
