[OpenIndiana-discuss] Are there any issues re ZFS on 2TB disks (from WD??) with large blocksizes?

[Martin Bochnig]

Situation:

32bit kernel (VTOC and EFI label [?]): Limit if larger than 1TB (1TB still ok)

64bit kernel:  if VTOC label: Limit if larger than 2TB (2TB still ok)
                    if EFI label: No reasonable limit.


Drawback: EFI hardly has boot support on most current BIOS based x86 computers.

But for 2TB disks you are still fine: Bootable VTOC labels still support them.
Beyond that (e.g. upcomming 3TB disks), see above.
