Hi All, I have added a second black (new) hard drive to a customer's server for use as backup (removalbe sata sleeve). I registers as /dev/sdc
I must have the disk removed at boot or the machine times out trying to boot up. So, I have it hot swapped into the system. The disk is a Toshiba HDD MG03ACA400 4TB SATA 6Gb/s Problem. No one can work on the disk: # ls -al /dev/sdc* brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 32 Jun 30 10:31 sdc # fdisk -l /dev/sdc fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdc: No medium found # gdisk /dev/sdc GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.6 Problem opening /dev/sdc for reading! Error is 123. gparted: doesn't show up on its list of devices What now? I could boot into Fedora off a Live USB, but I am not physically at the system. (I am remoted in with xRDP.)
