Hi Pallavi, could you please add release notes for bugs 9026 and 6843138 to OpenSolaris 2009.06 release notes ?
Shidokht, could you please take a look to verify if the information captured below is correct and provide workaround for 6843138 if one exists ? Thank you very much, Jan =================================================================================== bugid: 9026 synopsis: vtoc partition size is not cylinder size adjusted on disk bigger than 1.96TB Installer technologies affected: GUI installer & Automated installer Platforms affected: x86 & Sparc Description: On disks larger than 1.96TB installer creates VTOC slices which are not aligned on cylinder boundary. Installed OpenSolaris instance will boot successfully, but format(1M) tool can't process such VTOC configuration and when invoked, it will report that the disk doesn't contain valid label. Workaround: * Use Solaris fdisk(1M) and/or format(1M) tools to create desired VTOC configuration outside the installer. Then install into existing slice using Automated Installer. See following page for detailed instructions how to configure and use Automated Installer: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/dev/AIinstall/index.html ================================================================================== bugid: 6843138 synopsis: can not boot off a 2.2TB and zfs root Platforms affected: x86 Description: Due to the limitation in current implementation of GRUB which OpenSolaris uses as boot loader on x86 platform, OpenSolaris operating system can't be booted from disk which capacity exceeds 2^32 sectors or 2TB (assuming that sector size is 512 bytes). Workaround: * none ==================================================================================
