[OpenIndiana-discuss] Installation on HD => 2TB

[Mirko Fluher]

I recently tried .. to install OI 151a7 live  on the following computer;
cpu i7
mboard: gigabyte B75M-D3H
HD: Segate SATA3 2TB
with plenty of ram ...

it simply wouldn't install ... it cannot see the partition .. yet on 
that HD I run linux Ubuntu & Centos and have plenty of spare room.

I then decided to use an old 250G SATA2 HD ... and no problems - same 
settings in the Motherboard.

I told the installation program to use the entire HD.

mir at bigpax:~$ df -h

mir at bigpax:~$


attached is a a dump of the output of 'gparted' as it is provided by the 
system. It complains about mount point ... but I assume there is a 
problem with gparted...

If anyone is running the above system on a 2TB HD, I would be curious to 
know how you did it ... ??

Cheers,
