Indeed, after creating an empty gpt empty partition table with an ubuntu
bootable usb key, I was able to add the disk to the mirror. the mirror
appeared to work fine after resilvering. The situation was then that I
had a mirror rpool with an original 2TB disk and a resilvered 4 TB disk
of which only 2 TB are used. Then I tried to reboot on the 2 TB disk
and, during booting, I got lot of messages about read errors on a disk
at sector 7.814.037.168.
Warning: /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,2/ide@1f,2/ide@1/cmdk@O,O (Disk3):

If I check the gpt table with format/verify, I get

Thus, the faulty sector is beyond the end of the disk.
So why is the GPT label unreadable in the first place and why does
openindiana (2016.04) try to read so far on the disk ?
Here are the properties of the pool ?

I tried to set autoexpand to off and rebooted. The error messages were
still there and the system could not finish booting. the, I removed
physicalle the 4TB disk and the system could boot but without the mirror.
Can anybody help me with this ?
Thanks in advance

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.
