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

There is no problem in general with 2TB+ data drives under OI, you can get
some extra speed by using a modified zpool
(http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/SATA+-+Advanced+Format+and+4K+Sector+drives)
when you create but it works either way.

As mentioned by some other posters, for boot drives you also have an issue
of boot loaders and 32/64 bit ness.

Subject: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Are there any issues re ZFS on 2TB disks

I'm planning to upgrade my two mirrored 500 GB SATAII rpool disks to 
2x2TB  disks.


A friend with some Sun experience claims there was some problem with 
using ZFS on large disks, possibly because of block size on some new 
large disks.

Can anyone enlighten me or point me to the proper docs or something?
