[OpenIndiana-discuss] Unable to open disk device w/ 3 TB disk

[Reginald Beardsley]

I got a replacement for my failed 3 TB Hitachi drive.

Unfortunately, I can't access the replacement from either Sol 10 u8 or OI 151a7.

If I run "format -e" and select the disk, format dumps core w/ a segmentation violation.  Similarly, fdisk & dd report they are unable to open the device. Behavior is the same on both Sol 10 & OI. 

I was able to format and mount the drive w/ Ubuntu 10.4 LTS, so I don't think it's a case of a bad disk.  In this instance, the same machine was used for Ubuntu and OI w/ different boot disks installed.  

I'd assumed this was sector size related, but it's now looking as if it's EFI label related.

Does anyone have any information or suggestions for a workaround?

Here's the tail end of the truss output on 151a7 for "format -e" followed by selecting the disk.

dd & fdisk both get ENXIO on the open calls.
