[OpenIndiana-discuss] Booting Hipster from > 2 TB disks ???

[Reginald Beardsley via openindiana-discuss]

Is this possible? A bunch of searching has not resolved the question. If it is, I will order 3-4 TB disks, if not, I'll order 2 TB disks.
There was a post several years ago saying it worked, but I can find no confirmation that it is functional.

I presently have a system which uses 2 TB disks with a small slice for rpool and a large slice for user files. The user file slice is using RAIDZ2. Each disk in the RAIDZ2 pool has an rpool slice which is part of a 4 way mirror. At the time I set that up OI would not boot from an EFI label disk and would not boot from a RAIDZ pool.

I've not seen anything definitive to indicate that that has changed. Hence my question.

Hi Reginald

AFAIK this was the very reason we switched to loader.
RAIDZ has been mentioned as supported unfortunately I have not tired it.

I will install my > 2 TB System tomorrow So I can report back once that
runs.

Hi

I was able to install OI on a raidz2 pool via the installer. On 4TB disks.

However the OS throws a error 48 when trying to mount the zpool and thus
panics.

I have not figured out why but it is suggested that this may be a bug in
the kernel. Meaning it can not use raidz2 as rpool. maybe raidz1 works.
