I've got 1.5T disks in my ZFS server. I don't boot from them and I havn't labelled them (added "ad6" and so on to the zfs array). After hearing that various fdisk things couldn't see beyond 1.2T, I got to wondering if the whole disks were being used. It appears that they are. Now ZFS on solaris seems to insist that you initialize (ie: use their fdisk) the disks before adding them to ZFS. I've also recently added a bunch of 1.5T disks to a Solaris install ... and it seems happy to use the whole disk, too.
