Large Volume Support With EFI Disk Labels This Solaris release provides support for disks that are larger than 1 terabyte (Tbyte) on systems that run a 64-bit Solaris kernel. The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) label provides support for physical disks and virtual disk volumes. The UFS file system is compatible with the EFI disk label, but you cannot create a UFS file system greater than 1 Tbyte. This release also includes updated disk utilities for managing disks greater than 1 Tbyte. The EFI disk label differs from the VTOC disk label in the following ways:
For more information on using the EFI disk label, see the System Administration Guide: Basic Administration. This guide contains important information and restrictions that apply to using the EFI disk label with existing software products. The Solaris Volume Manager software can also be used to manage disks greater than 1 Tbyte in this Solaris release. See the “Large Volume Support in Solaris Volume Manager” description in System Administration Tools. |
