WTF? I had loads of fun with this 4-5 years ago, but was able to put an EFI label on a 3 TB disk and everything was fine when I moved the disk to my Solaris 10 instance where I have two in a mirror.
I'm trying to label a 5 TB disk so I can make a backup before attempting to fix grub on my Solaris 10 u8 system. So I get this: rhb@Hipster:/etc# zpool status pool: epool state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0 in 2h30m with 0 errors on Wed Feb 17 17:39:53 2021 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM epool ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c4d0s1 ONLINE 0 0 0 c6d1s1 ONLINE 0 0 0 c7d0s1 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors pool: rpool state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0 in 1h39m with 0 errors on Wed Feb 17 16:49:12 2021 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM rpool ONLINE 0 0 0 mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c4d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c6d1s0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c7d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors rhb@Hipster:/etc# format -e Searching for disks...done AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c4d0 <Unknown-Unknown-0001 cyl 60796 alt 2 hd 255 sec 252> /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,2/ide@1/cmdk@0,0 1. c4d1 <drive type unknown> /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,2/ide@1/cmdk@1,0 2. c6d1 <Unknown-Unknown-0001 cyl 60796 alt 2 hd 255 sec 252> /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,2/ide@0/cmdk@1,0 3. c7d0 <Unknown-Unknown-0001 cyl 60796 alt 2 hd 255 sec 252> /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,5/ide@1/cmdk@0,0 Specify disk (enter its number): 1 Error: can't open disk '/dev/rdsk/c4d1p0'. Segmentation Fault I was using OI because I knew that Solaris 10 u8 would dump core, but I *thought* this had been fixed in OI/Illumos. All I want to do is put a UEFI label on it so I can use it with u8. It boggles my mind that I would get a seg fault after all these years. That was always my favorite bug fix because it was so easy. At least it is if you can recompile the code. The overhead cost of being able to build OI is simply more than I am willing to pay. I did get it to compile once *many* years ago, but I never got a response when I asked on the developer list how to test the new kernel. But then again, I now find myself in a world where it is proclaimed "racist" to insist that 2+2 = 4. So time to take OI down and move the disk to Debian to label it. Sigh..
