Hmm, wasn't the issues with 3T drives, that they internally use 4K blocks and emulate 512 and that therefore 8 block alignments are an performance issue ? The reason I'm asking: I encounter the problem of the lost secondary GPT table: Feb 17 22:15:44 vserv1 kernel: GEOM: ad7: the secondary GPT table is corrupt or invalid. Feb 17 22:15:44 vserv1 kernel: GEOM: ad7: using the primary only -- recovery suggested. Feb 17 22:15:44 vserv1 kernel: GEOM: ufsid/4d5d8faa10b63ac1: the secondary GPT table is corrupt or invalid. Feb 17 22:15:44 vserv1 kernel: GEOM: ufsid/4d5d8faa10b63ac1: using the primary only -- recovery suggested. I had this disc connected via some usb2sata adapter as da0, and there was no error message when I did the 'gpart create ad7' thing. When I now connect it to the some other box as ad7 and this error message appears: Which of the two has the problem with the controller not getting the large size disc correct ? -- p...@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 9 years to go ! _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
