I believe that write caching is turned off on the boot drives or is it
the controller or both?
Which could be a big problem.

Hello all,
I am a complete newbie to OpenSolaris, and must to setup a ZFS
NAS. I do have linux experience, but have never used ZFS. I have
tried to install OpenSolaris Developer 134 on a 11TB HW RAID-5
virtual disk, but after the installation I can only use one 2TB
disk, and I cannot partition the rest. I realize that maximum
partition size is 2TB, but I guess the rest must be usable. For
hardware I am using HP ProLiant DL180G6, 12 1TB disks connected to
P212 controller in RAID-5. Could someone direct me or suggest what
I am doing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Dusan
You would be much better off installing to a small internal disk, and
then creating a separate pool for the 11TB of storage. The 2TB limit
is because it's a boot drive. That limit should go away if you're
using it as a separate storage pool.
