Valery, Sorry for the late reply. Thank you very much for the fast response. Here is the summary and the solution - it may help some other people: If you are running Solaris (the version doesn't matter), you must use DiskBridge plugin available in the latest release.

Anton and Valery, Thanks for the reply. Soalris 10 has the same limits as 9 - up to 65535 cylinders (you know the good old 16 bit limits, even though the operating system is 64 bit). At the moment I'm running 3.2.1. On your web site there is 3.2.2 Is 3.2.3 oficially available and how do I get it? Wo...
