If the disk is going to be part of whole-disk zpool, I like to make sure there is not an old VTOC-style partition table on there. That can be done either via some "format -e" commands, or with "fdisk -E", to put an EFI label on there.
unfortunately, fdisk won't help me at all: # fdisk -E /dev/rdsk/c12t1d0p0 # zpool create -f testp c12t1d0 invalid vdev specification the following errors must be manually repaired: /dev/dsk/c3t11d0s0 is part of active ZFS pool dbzpool. Please see zpool(1M). and i can't find anything in format that lets me do anything: # format -e c12t1d0 selecting c12t1d0 [disk formatted] /dev/dsk/c3t11d0s0 is part of active ZFS pool dbzpool. Please see zpool(1M). [...] format> label Cannot label disk when partitions are in use as described. I wonder if getting my hands on a pre-sol10 x86 format binary would help... -- Jeremy Kister http://jeremy.kister.net./ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
