I am currently using opensolaris snv_134 have just bought some 3 TB disks to
upgrade a 8 disk mirror of 2 TB disks. I though this should just work as
opensolaris can use EFI partiton tables, but giving zfs the whole
unformatted disk results in the following partition table and pool size.
/dev/dsk/
what does isainfo -k report?

This only provides a small performance workaround for drives using 4K
sectors internally but presenting 512b sectors. It does nothing to enable a
partition to be greater than 2TB, which opensolaris puts on the disk when

in 2009.06 version, rpool can't larger than 2TB, but other zpool can.
