Yikes 8-/, I'm glad I hadn't got around to updating; my data pool consists of 13 WD Red 3TB drives which are 4K native. I'm surprised this deficiency wasn't noticed during development or testing, aren't 4K native drives fairly common nowadays? I deployed my pool back in 2009. Hmm, fortunately, it looks like you can stick with grub: https://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/BSDLoader So until the bug you referenced is fixed upstream and back ported to r151022 (if it ever is, given the current instability of maintenance <sigh>), people with 4K drives will need to be sure to *not* migrate to loader. Perhaps somebody with privs to update the wiki would be kind enough to put a large bold warning on the release notes to make sure no one else gets themselves in the position of a non-bootable system? Hmm, wait, I think I have wiki edit privs... Yup, warning added. _______________________________________________ OmniOS-discuss mailing list OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss
