I have a bunch of 4k WD Red drives, they work just fine (zpool created with ashift=13 automatically). > The trick of editing sd.conf shouldn't work on SATA drives, since > they're not scsi, and sd.conf deals with SCSI harddisks plus some ATAPI > CD/DVDs and such.. > > Or am I missing something? It will work, native SATA devices are handled through sd, since the ATA translation layer makes them appear to sd as if they were speaking SCSI. > P.S.

Make sure your SATA controller is in AHCI (native SATA) mode, no IDE (emulated PATA). -- Saso _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
