My understanding is that 1TB is the maximum bootable disk size since
EFI boot is not supported. It is good that you were allowed to use
the larger disk, even if its usable space is truncated.
I don't dispute that, but I don't understand it either.
If EFI is not being used (ZFS boot doesn't use EFI on the root pool
since the BIOS doesn't (usually) uinderstand the EFI label) then what is
it that has a 1TB limit?
I beleive linux (and I'd guess NTFS) can use the whole disk past 1TB, so
my guess is the old fashioned PC/DOS/FDisk partition tables can handle
sizes over 1TB now (though I know they couldn't in the past.)
Anyone know what the bottle neck is?
