A little update on this drive for those interested. I get this now. root@fireball / # smartctl --all /dev/sdd smartctl 6.3 2014-07-26 r3976 [x86_64-linux-3.16.3-gentoo] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-14, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Vendor: /4:0:0:0 Product: Compliance: SPC-5 User Capacity: 600,332,565,813,390,450 bytes [600 PB] Logical block size: 774843950 bytes scsiModePageOffset: response length too short, resp_len=47 offset=50 bd_len=46 scsiModePageOffset: response length too short, resp_len=47 offset=50 bd_len=46 >> Terminate command early due to bad response to IEC mode page A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting.

This program will attempt to convert to GPT form or repair damage to GPT data structures, but may not succeed. Use gdisk or another disk repair tool if you have a damaged GPT disk. And then it says the drive is this BIG: 8.0 ZiB What the heck is that? Anyway, I guess after almost 4 months of uptime, time to shutdown and disconnect one pretty much dead drive. It was fun playing with tho. Now it will be fun to use as target. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
