Hi, Have a strange problem. System with 6 x 750GB SATA drives installed. One failed, so replaced it. Drive is recognised properly at boot time:
SCSI device sdc: 1465149168 512-byte hdwr sectors (750156 MB) sdc: Write Protect is off sdc: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sdc: drive cache: write back SCSI device sdc: 1465149168 512-byte hdwr sectors (750156 MB) sdc: Write Protect is off sdc: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sdc: drive cache: write back sdc:<6>ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1d.2[C] -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> IRQ 58 However, both parted and fdisk insist on treating the drive as a 50GB drive for some reason: fdisk -l /dev/sdc Disk /dev/sdc: 50.0 GB, 50000000000 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 6078 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes parted /dev/sdc GNU Parted 1.7.1 Using /dev/sdc Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) mklabel gpt (parted) print Disk /dev/sdc: 50.0GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags Any idea why this could be happening? Would there be any way of recovering the correct disk size without rebooting? This is a failed MD volume and I'd prefer not having to bring the server down again to fix this issue. Apologies if this is the wrong list to post to, I couldn't locate a parted users mailing list.
