Symptoms
Unable to override the physical block size specification in [s]sd.conf for some devices, for example the Sun Flash Accelerator F80 PCIe Card.
For Solaris 11, create /etc/driver/drv/sd.conf file with following entry and reboot in order for settings to be applied at device attach:
Changes
This issue occurs on devices where the inquiry response for the version/device_type parameters changed from 5/0 (SPC-3/SBC-2) to 6/0 (SPC4/SBC-3).
As a result of the upgraded conformance to SBC-3, the response parameters to READ CAPACITY(16) are defined to include LOGICAL BLOCKS PER PHYSICAL BLOCK EXPONENT in byte 13, which some devices, for example the Sun Flash Accelerator F80 PCIe Card, report as zero.
