Problems formatting a RAID 5, 4,5 Tb sized disk
Hello all,
Please apologize me if Im not posting in the correct forum but I wasnt really sure about where to write this.
I was installing redhat 4 on a server(amd quad core,16gb RAM), with two hw raids. The first is a mirror for the OS, and the second is a raid 5 composed by 6 sata drives 1tb big. The raid controller is a 3ware 9650se.
All was correct, I could format this problematic raid 5 during the installation with no complains, but when I rebooted the computer it was saying there were errors with this disk.
I tried gparted and fdisk, and the strange thing was that it was showing just a small partition about 500 gb big leaving the rest as unallocated space that I cant format, It shows errors.
Thanks for reading!
Carlos.
