I'm going waaay out on a limb here, as a non-programmer...but... Since the source is open, maybe community members should organize and work on some sort of sizing algorithm? I can certainly imagine Sun deciding to do this in the future - I can also imagine that it's not at the top of Sun's priority list (most of the devices they deal with are their own, and perhaps not subject to the right-sizing issue). If it matters to the community, why not, as a community, try to fix/improve zfs in this way?
Again, I've not even looked at the code for block allocation or whatever it might be called in this case, so I could be *way* off here :) Lastly, Antonius, you can try the zpool trick to get this disk relabeled, I think. Try 'zpool create temp_pool [problem_disk]' then 'zpool destroy temp_pool]' - this should relabel the disk in question and set up the defaults that zfs uses. Can you also run format > partition > print on one of the existing disks and send the output so that we can see what the existing disk looks like? (Off-list directly to me if you prefer). cheers, Blake _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
