I have similar problem installing into memory stick (tried 4 gb
& 12gb)<br>
<br>
Installer tries to create rpool/swap 732,606249809m, but fails
with error: volume size must be multiple of volume block size<br>
Tried both stable & bloody<br>

I'm stumped. Here's everything I've tried so far:<br>
<br>
1. installing into a partition instead of "whole disk". Works
fine in VirtualBox but fails on the real disk<br>
<br>
2. resetting the drive's geometry. Had to use Linux to do
this, but OmniOS reverted it back to its original values<br>
<br>
3. manually creating the rpool/swap volume. After the
failure, I escape to shell. Sure enough, "3230.54765606m"
fails but "3230m" succeeds (too bad I can't tell the installer
to use this value instead)<br>
<br>
4. traced the installer's code per the stack trace. Honestly,
I wish instantiation.py wouldn't try to create swap at all -
being a compact flash disk, I'm going to move swap (and dump,
etc) to my raidz2-based pool afterwards anyways...<br>
<br>
5. installed OpenIndiana. Yes, it installed fine. After it
installed, I escaped to shell and saw it had chosen different
sizes for the various ZFS volumes. Then I tried installing
OmniOS again, hoping that something OI had done would stick,
but no dice<br>
<br>
Why won't OmniOS install on this CF disk again? - I'm using
the same OmniOS install CD as before. Could a BIOS setting
make a difference (it's currently set to LBA)? The only
other thing I can think of is that the CF disk now has some
blocks marked unusable. But SMART info says that's not the
case and I compared it to another identical 8GB CF disk and
they're the same (two disks both marking the same number of
blocks bad seems improbable)<br>
<br>
Right now, the only way I can imagine getting OmniOS installed
is by hacking the installer itself. Actually, I tried already
but file was read-only. Didn't investigate enough to see if I
could change that. Worst case, I suppose I could mount the
ISO, twiddle some bits, and burn another CD, but I'm hoping
someone has a better idea...anyone?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Kent

I have a machine whose root disk is a 8GB CF. I
installed OmniOS on this drive a few weeks ago, but it
won't let me do it again now (see install_log below).
The one crazy thing I see is that it's trying to create
a volume with a size of "3230.54765606m" - which seems
like a peculiar fraction to be passing into `zfs create`<br>
<br>
How could it be that I could install 'stable' on this
drive before and now, using the exact same OmniOS
install CD, it won't let me? Any ideas how to clear or
circumvent the issue?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
