I don't know what your problem is. We have been through this before.

Everything Phoenix32 has said about the HW in a 4000 and the 1T has been confirmed. Others have also reported problems with HD's > 250gig.

The OS has a 1T limit, due to the fact that the XFS file system is 24bit. Just because the HD Supports LBA48bit does not make it a 48bit system. The weakest link rules here.

Failure to build the raid5 array should tell you something.

You come here for help, then you disregard what we say.

Time for you to move on.

Enough said, case closed.
Blue, It certainly is time to move on. (not because of your suggestion)

It's also time for anyone thinking about buying an old snap. While you guys seem stuck on reviving a dead technology, which is fine for hobbyists, I would also have to recommend anyone thinking of using these in production to move on as well. They would be better off working with FreeNAS - even in beta.


My problem, at the moment, is your collective egos. You can't seem to admit that you were wrong. I have the proof, and I am using it. (though I'll sell it soon.) I built a RAID5 just fine - no failure as you suggest. you have to remember that this is not religion. Belief does not trump evidence. It works, and I am sorry that makes you feel bad. But for honesty sake I have to report it like it is.

I appreciate the jump start help I did get here in the early stages. This site and the info here is great for hobbyists (thought I'll have to warn people not to take it as gods word. there is much speculation and belief offered as gospel.) I offered to financially support this site, but was asked to continue posting and adding to the knowledge base instead. You also asked me to report back my results, but now that you don't like it, you are asking me to leave.

that suits me fine.

You know, I really wasn't out to hurt your feelings either. I am sorry.
