I had to use Linux (CentOS 6.7) to write a Sun label and create a gpt
partition table with parted before either Hipster 2017.10 or Solaris 10 would
recognize a 3 TB disk on my Z400s.
On Sol 10 u8 "format -e" dumped core. On Hipster 2017.10 it simply did not see
the disk. But once I labeled it with Linux I had no further trouble. "format
-e" happily made a proper Sun label on Sol 10. I don't think that there was
anything special about CentOS 6.7. It happened to be the Linux distro I was
using at the time. Since I've switched to Debian 9.3. I'm pretty sure I used
Debian to set up the disk when I added a mirror for the 3 TB disk, but I didn't
find any notes about that. So I have to presume I just stuck the drive in and
followed my notes from before when I was replacing a failed 512 sector 3 TB
disk with a 2k sector disk.
I'm running three 2 TB disks in RAIDZ1 for the export pool and a 3 way mirror
for rpool using a pair of slices both for Hipster 2017.10 and Sol 10. I have
the Sol 10 box offline on an isolated network. I prefer twm for programming
work and that is far more work to set up on Hipster than I care to endure. So
Hipster is my Internet box and Sol 10 is my serious work box. At one time I ran
twm on one screen and CDE on the other to keep 3rd party stuff happy.
The Sol 10 box has a 2 way 3 TB mirror scratch space. Probably not needed now,
but I used to do seismic processing which needs lots of scratch space. I've
also got an N40L with RAIDZ2 on four 2 TB disks with a 4 way mirror for rpool
for backups.
Good luck,
Reg

Hello,
I'm trying to install a disk (seagate Ironwolf 4TB type ST4000VN008) on
a system running hipster 2016.04. The computer is based on an ASUS P8B-M
mother board with a Xeon processor. The sata interface works with an
older 2TB disk
(I know it is an old version of hipster, but my plan is first to replace
the 2 mirror disks by bigger ones, then update the OS.
The problem is that hipster does not identify the disk. The disk is new.
I enev tried 2 different ones.
