I had a perfectly working 7 drive raidz pool using some on board STATA
connectors and some on PCI SATA controller cards. My pool was using 500GB
drives. I had the stupid idea to replace my 500GB drives with 2TB ( Mitsubishi
) drives. This process resulted in me loosing much of my data ( see my other
post ). Now that I am picking up the pieces, I think I have tracked the problem
down to some incompatibility with the drives and on board SATA. I can create
pools on the controller card SATA slots, but not on the on board SATA. ( see
below ). I can switch the two drives around and I can always create pools on
the external (c11t0d0 ) SATA but never on the internal. However, with a 500GB
drive it works fine on either one.
Does anyone know how to resolve this. Is there a bios update or some kind of
patch or something? Please help.
my motherboard is a MSI N1996. I have two,l so I tried the other one with the
same result, so it's not a hardware failure. The other thing I notice is the
drives look different to format. These are identical drives.
Is this a 32 bit system? If so, you're out of luck with 2TB drives.
