[OpenIndiana-discuss] installing on 2tb disk

[Gea]

I suppose the disk is simply bad, try another one.
There is only a 2TB restriction with some older controllers ex LSI 1068

btw
why do you want to use large disks for rpool as you "should" not place 
data onto beside the OS.
Usually I use a cheap 100G+ SSD for rpool with all data on a datapool.
