I have a FreeBSD-initialised 8-disk vdev, all 10TB WD RED, now on a server with OmniOS r151026, connected via LSI 3008 HBA. At POST, the card shows all disks with right geometry (I can post picture if necessary). But format reports a wrong (~ 2TB) geometry: format Searching for disks...done c0t5000CCA26BD0CAFAd0: configured with capacity of 2047.71GB c0t5000CCA26BD5AAC5d0: configured with capacity of 2047.71GB c0t5000CCA26BD6B9CCd0: configured with capacity of 2047.71GB c0t5000CCA26BD6C6D4d0: configured with capacity of 2047.71GB c0t5000CCA26BD6E59Cd0: configured with capacity of 2047.71GB c0t5000CCA26BD59F6Dd0: configured with capacity of 2047.71GB c0t5000CCA26BD116ACd0: configured with capacity of 2047.71GB c0t5000CCA26BD6960Ed0: configured with capacity of 2047.71GB format should instead report something like (only first drive listed): AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c0t5000CCA26BD0CAFAd0 /scsi_vhci/disk@g5000cca26bd0cafa diskinfo correctly reports size (showing only first disk): root@omniosce:~# diskinfo -p TYPE DISK VID PID SIZE RMV SSD SCSI c0t5000CCA26BD0CAFAd0 ATA WDC WD100EFAX-68 10000831348736 no no How to force OmniOS (illumos) "format" properly recognize disk geometry?
