Hi, Something is odd with the phys storage mgnmt area. I'm trying to partition up a 5TB raid5 array and keep running into weirdness.
For example, i start with a fresh disk, no partitions, openfiler says I can use ranges within the following extents: 1 - 638266 cylinders, 4889.37 GB, so i say create ... result: /dev/sdb1 Linux Physical Volume (0x8e) 1 1 103568 831904317 793.37 GB Primary -- 793GB what the heck ? Ok, so i say how bout make 2 - 2TB partitions, so start clean again and create: 1 - 300000 cylinder / 2298.12 GB, hit create and guess what? openfiler thinks i made a 250GB partition result: /dev/sdb1 Linux Physical Volume (0x8e) 1 1 32651 262266320 250.12 GB Primary I've tried other combinations, for instance I tried creating a parttion from 1 - 200000 cylinder, and it created a 4GB partition!! Whats going on ? Anyone know? Please help, very frustrating, thanks!
