[OpenIndiana-discuss] 4k zpool version no longer available?

[Jaco Schoonen]

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your quick reply!

>> After studying all the information about 4K-disks I figured out that to get more space in my server I need to create a new pool, consisting of 4K-disks and then moving everything from the old 512-byte pool to the new one. 
>> So far, so good. Everything is connected and detected correctly.  The 3TB Seagate drives that I bought unfortunately lie about their physical sector size, so I wanted to try the modified zpool as suggested in the wiki-page http://wiki.openindiana.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4883847 .

Reading there that this is included in illumos changeset 13680 and reading in release_notes of 151_a5 that oi151_a5 is based on 13740. Is my assumptions correct that this should work in oi151_a5?

Just tried that, but can't get it to work. Do I need to reboot before this will work? 

I tried after doing a "update_drv -f sd", but that gave an error:
# update_drv -f sd
Cannot unload module: sd
Will be unloaded upon reboot.
Forcing update of sd.conf.


Will try tomorrow after a reboot, can't do a reboot right now.
