Hi roy,
yes, right, it was just to tell Andy what I've tested with this hp system and
OI. i think there are many people who have written in detail their experience
about supported hdd sizes in forums easily reachable just by googling n40l. let
me also correct what i've written before: the adaptec 1045/1405 are luckily
supported by the aac driver, despite what is written on the man page. the si3124
driver refers to a sata controller i've tested successfully on the pciex1 slot.
Best regards,
Enrico

It probably won't help much. Any SATA controller should recognize the 4TB
drives, and the problem with the drives lying about sector sizes won't be any
better whatever controller you use.

maybe this might help:
http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/products/controllers/hardware/sas/entry/asc-1045/
it is recognized on a n40l and it is supported by the si3124 driver

For some time now I've successfully been using ZFS RAIDz pools made
up of 3 x 1
TB or 3 x 2 TB Western Digital Caviar Black disks in a HP
MicroServer N36L
running OI 148 or 151. I'm now thinking of using the newer HP N40L
microserver
with 3 x 4 TB disks (Hitachi DeskStart 7K4000) which have 4096 byte
sectors. Can
anyone foresee a problem with this?
I plan to set up several of these storage servers in mirrored pairs
so I want to
make sure this will work before ordering anything.
Thanks in advance for any comments or advice,
Andy
