 |
|
Hi there,
I have two RAID controllers. Adding host drives greater than 2TB on them doesn't show up with fdisk. This worked perfekt with the gentoo sources 2.6.19-r5 (trying in a few moments if this is still true). I've updated the gentoo machine, and since that (gentoo sources 2.6.22-r9) it doesn't, fdisk just shows, that the disk has 0 MByte and 0 Byte. If I try to access the host drive with fdisk or parted, both tell me that this doesn't work. All other host drives, which I configured lower than 2TB for testing, will show up.
Edit: Even gentoo sources 2.6.19-r5, what worked very well, doesn't show disks/host drives greater than 2TB anymore.
RAID Controller: ICP Vortex, driver: gdth

This is normal. Traditional DOS partition tables can't support drives larger than 2TB.
You could either use the array raw (no partitions), or you could use a different type of partitioning (GPT). |

Oh man, yes me is so dumb! You are so right, I was confused about the output from parted and fdisk.
Thanks! |
