I've noticed its only a problem of per-LUN sizes on 32bit Solaris clients trying to import them into ZFS. You can build a ZFS volume of any* size as long as the underlying LUNs are less than 1.4TB each I believe. Or so I've seen by experimentation. * is because the total pool size and the the per-LUN size was simply something that worked for me, but in the end, I did go w/ 64-bit processors as the memory crunch that ZFS has makes 32bit unusable for any heavy use beyond .5TB of disk, again by observation. > -- > Hugh Saunders > _______________________________________________ > zfs-discuss mailing list > zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss > _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
