[Bug 219393] Re: HPA ( Host Protected Area ) interferes with dmraid
NeCod, do be careful not to let the mobo re-write that HPA. From my (very bad) experience with that Gigabyte board, a reset of the CMOS, a BIOS flash, a bad stick of RAM, or just playing around with the BIOS backup tools in the wrong way can cause it to do this without warning you. (the driver CD that came with my board was bootable and would do this.) If you have an option in BIOS to disable the backup BIOS to HDD feature, (I didn't, but have seen later boards that did) definitely disable it before using HDAT2, so that you won't have to go through this twice. If that testdisk util doesn't work, look up R-studio. It's commercial software (and expensive,) but might be able to recover the data on your array if you're really hurting for it. You should still have an external storage device to which to dump the data, but this might save you a lot of reinstalls. Either way, watch for UUIDs to change when you rebuild. Check /etc/fstab and replace disk-by-uuid references to the array before trying to boot to a recovered drive. Also, HDAT2 is now included on the Ultimate Boot CD, which is an extremely useful resource in its own right, and may contain other utilities to help you recover your array once HDAT2 is run. http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ -- HPA ( Host Protected Area ) interferes with dmraid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219393 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 219393] Re: HPA ( Host Protected Area ) interferes with dmraid
Wait. If you actually disable HPA you will lost your current RAID configuration since the bios actually STORES RAID0 array information in the HPA area. What you HAVE to do to get rid of this nightmare is to backup the entire array, disassemble the raid setup, go to HDAT2, REMOVE HPA, create the RAID0 again (this time however, if you CREATE the RAID WITH the HPA disabled permanently, it will no longer create the metadata in the same place so you will never have this HPA problem agan, with ubuntu... ever, trust me, is painful but as long as you have the metadata inside the HPA area, nightmare is guaranteed.

Re: [Bug 219393] Re: HPA ( Host Protected Area ) interferes with dmraid
You have the member offline when you disable HPA because the metadata for the RAID0 is actually being stored on the HPA of that disk, when you disable it, you lost the configuration, that's why it won't work until you actully remove HPA and start a fresh RAID0, once you do that, metadata no longer will be stored on HPA and since HPA is non-existant you problems with RAID will be gone forever.

Re: [Bug 219393] Re: HPA ( Host Protected Area ) interferes with dmraid
AS I already stated before and again, look for the HDAT2 utility, can be put on a booteable CD (dos based) Configure your hard disk as IDE (for the moment) boot with a booteable cd and run HDAT2 (I think hdat2 comes with a booteable cd now) Run HDAT2, and disable HPA from both disks. Your problem with raid will be resolved forever, trust me. BTW, this information will be written in the Hard Disk's firmware so it does not reset with a power off.

System: * Ubuntu 8.10 amd64 (not installed yet) * Intel Software Raid from ICH9R southbridge, ASUS P5K-E motherboard * 4 hard disks with two raid arrays (one RAID0 array and one RAID5 array). I am trying to install Ubuntu Intrepid on the fakeraid but none of the solutions worked for me. Dmraid fails with this error (repeated 8 times, one time per disk and array): ERROR: isw device for volume zerovol broken on /dev/sda in RAID set isw_baeaijeeda_zerovol ERROR: isw: wrong # of devices in RAID set isw_baeaijeeda_zerovol [8/4] on /dev/sda I have tried these: * Solution to the live CD.

With Ubuntu 8.04.1 module had correct name, but dmraid did not work well, so I could not install. With Ubuntu 8.10 kernel module is correct, but dmraid has another problem. I cannot remember which stupid think failed in Ubuntu 7.10. Conclusion: Fakeraid support is too poor, raid is wide extended even in desktop users.

[Bug 219393] Re: HPA ( Host Protected Area ) interferes with dmraid
I have found a utility that will avoid you having to use the workaround for HPA. This utility will allow you to remove the HPA from your hard drive permanently in most cases. You have to have the hard drive on a SATA port that is in AHCI mode, not in RAID mode when you run this bootdisk and utility. My RAID was one with redundancy, and my motherboard has an extra separate SATA controller to add two more ports, so what I did was move the drive with the HPA over to that extra port and put that in AHCI mode, then used the utility to remove the HPA. After that, I put the drive back, and let the RAID rebuild, without any loss of data. This would also work if you put the drive on a separate computer with an AHCI controller. I don't know what would happen if you changed your RAID controller to AHCI mode, but I suspect it would break the array permanently, so make a backup if you have to do this. Here is the utility: http://www.hdat2.com/ This solved all my problems with Linux and unmodified Live CDs, too. Now it all just works. Anyone else with a Gigabyte board that has Xpress Recovery like mine should be careful never to turn that on again, or you'll have the HPA back. I have read that there are some Dell computers out there that also have code in their boot sector to make them re-create the HPA even if you delete it. If you have one of those, you will have to do more work to make this permanent. -- HPA ( Host Protected Area ) interferes with dmraid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219393 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I didn't have the file, either.

That's the only line that needs to be in there.

[Bug 219393] Re: HPA ( Host Protected Area ) interferes with dmraid
It seems that this will not be fixed. The old IDE driver was always broken in that it ignored the HPA. When this was fixed in libata, it caused breakage for people who had already formatted their disks with the old driver, then upgraded, and were no longer able to access the whole disk. For this reason, Ubuntu has diverged from upstream and reverted to the old broken behavior by default. The workaround is to set the ignore_hpa parameter to explicitly direct the driver to respect the HPA, or to use a tool to permanently remove the HPA from the drive. ** Summary changed: - ich9R raid array not detected + HPA ( Host Protected Area ) interferes with dmraid ** Changed in: dmraid (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low Status: In Progress = Won't Fix -- HPA ( Host Protected Area ) interferes with dmraid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219393 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

But I have an other problem, i can't find libata-options anymore in /etc/moprobe.d after doing modprobe libata ignore_hpa=0, so it writes this line to an empty file, but there must be other things in it to work i guess?
