I've tried to follow the previous posts. I've set my jumper so the drives appear to be nothing more than a 32 GB drive. When I do that, the front LED on the Snap server flash amber synchronously across all four disk lights. http://snapserver/config tells me there are no drives to configure.
When I remove the 32 GB jumper on the drive, the server sees the drives just fine, but formats them around 120 GB. I've tried the LBA commands from the http://snapserver/config/debug window, but there is no change in behavior.
Spec: Snap 4000
Software: 4.0.8.30
Hardware: 2.2.1
BIOS: 2.4.437
Does anyone have any ideas? |
After my post (#146) I replaced all the 160GB disks with 300GB, created a Raid 5 volume with a size near 850GB and checked with Snap diagnostic. Also I changed the RAM to 256MB. After all I upgraded to v4.0.830. No trouble at all, only a little decrease of performance with SnapOS v4.0 and Snap Extensions.
The differences between your Snap with mine are Bios and Hardware versions.
The drives of Snap Server 4000 with serial before 70700042-003 have to be connected with jumpers set as master/slave, after with jumpers set as Cable Select.
What version of Snap Os is now installed?
If it is 4.0.830, did you upgraded before changing disks? V4.0 is 48bitLBA capable, but not with all hardware.
Could be necessary to reinstall v3.4.805 but I have no info if anybody has tried to downgrade to v3.4 with success.
