Judging purely from my own experience, I would say yes. I was a Solaris user from about 1995 until about 2000.
Around about 2000-2001, I bought a new computer with a large (for that time) hard drive that was (IIRC) about 30 gigs. I found that my Solaris x86 was not able to access the whole of that disk due to disk capacity limits in its configuration.
On the off chance, I also tried installing Linux. It had no problems at all in working with that large(!) disk.
(Note: I am trying to remember back roughly 20 years, I may have some numbers wrong.)
That was when I put my Solaris away, ending 10 years of using several commercial unices, and moving across to Linux.
- bifrost 7y agoI used Solaris/X86 with 1TB+ RAID arrays back in 99/2000. I'm going to guess you had a wierd driver issue, hardware was fairly janky back then...
