[OpenIndiana-discuss] Booting Hipster from > 2 TB disks ???

[Till Wegmüller]

Hi

I was able to install OI on a raidz2 pool via the installer. On 4TB disks.

However the OS throws a error 48 when trying to mount the zpool and thus
panics.

I have not figured out why but it is suggested that this may be a bug in
the kernel. Meaning it can not use raidz2 as rpool. maybe raidz1 works.

Greetings
Till

Each disk in the RAIDZ2 pool has an rpool slice which is part of a 4 way mirror.  At the time I set that up OI would not boot from an EFI label disk and would not boot from a RAIDZ pool.
