[OpenIndiana-discuss] spool replace says the disk has a different sector alignment

[Stefan Müller-Wilken]

Hi there,

have you looked at http://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/ZFS+and+Advanced+Format+disks ? Or quoting http://thr3ads.net/zfs-discuss/2012/09/2101915-cannot-replace-X-with-Y-devices-have-different-sector-alignment as  another source, you could also try fdisk to compare your two devices:


fdisk -G:
root at nas:~# fdisk -G /dev/rdsk/c16t5000C5002AA08E4Dd0
* Physical geometry for device /dev/rdsk/c16t5000C5002AA08E4Dd0
* PCYL     NCYL     ACYL     BCYL     NHEAD NSECT SECSIZ
  60800    60800    0        0        255   252   512
