My apologies for not closing the loop on this one. For the archives...

Hi, folks,
Has anybody had luck using phy: disks with this version?
With*what* version?:)
This was(is) 2.6.32
I'm trying to create a new OpenSolaris DomU (nexenta 3.0.4) with two phy: devices, and instead of the expected behavior I'm seeing two disks show up, one as 0GB and one as 64510.04GB.
file: devices seem to work OK.
Disks are declared like:
'phy:/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST31500341AS_9VS41HND,xvda,w',Did you try with /dev/sdX ? That shouldn't change the behaviour but you never know..
It turns out this was due to the inability of the 32-bit Solaris kernel to handle disks of modern size. Forcing the 64-bit Solaris kernel cleared up the issue.
