*zpool lists pool from unavailable GPT Partition/Slice:* When my solaris/illumos partition is 8 as the number as listed on parted, the OI live image format etc tools cannot find it anymore even though parted lists it fine (and number on parted output becomes greater than 7, s7 for example won't work with the tools, format won't show the slice)
zpool tool is still able to find the partition but keeps complaining that it's corrupt . Since neither of the tools are able to access that slice s7 expected response from zpool should have been "no pool available". It's mysterious how zpool is able to list that pool when solaris partition is not mapped to any slice (running anything on s7 keeps saying no such file or directory) Atiq On Fri, Aug 15, 2025 at 2:22 PM Atiq Rahman <[email protected]> wrote: > > You should ideally have one slice device for each GPT partition. > > > Looks like the max number of GPT partitions supported is 7.
