You should not be creating a zpool using the ...p0 device. Try this after having created the partition in fdisk: # Force re-genration of the VTOC. # This will result in slice 2 being set up properly to span the entire # partition. prtvtoc -h /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s2 | awk '$1==8{print}' \ | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s2 # Now add slice 0 covering the whole partition # The same as slice 2 except tagged as root and mountable. # (you can do this interactively via format or run this) fmthard -d `prtvtoc -h /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s2 \ | awk '$1==2{printf("0:2:00:%d:%d\n",$4,$5)}'` /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s2 # Check echo -e 'p\np' | format c3t0d0 You should see that slice 0 is flagged as root and spans the entire partition # Create zpool zpool create -f rpool c3t0d0s0 Proceed to option 2 in the menu as before. I've just tested this with OmniOSce r151024.
