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.)
Many thanks,

Reported it to Red Hat:

The work around was to format it with a direct install
Fedora Core 23 USB flash drive.
