Bah! 12000 large disk support again!
Allright, how do I get this piece of junk to recognize disks larger than 130GB? I've got a 12000 running SnapOS 4.0.829. I just upgraded it from 3.4.xxx, which did not support LBA. All the drives are 160GB hardware, but showing up as 130GB.
I've issued the "ide 48BitLBACounter reset" and "ide 48BitLBACounter get" (=0) commands, then the "co de format 10000 /reinit" as well. No luck.
So, I also have a 14000 running GuardianOS. I removed all of the drives from the 12000, put a couple in the 14000, and formated them at full capacity. They register as 160GB on the 14000. Then I factory defaulted the 12000 and rebooted it, and after it came up I inserted one of the 14000-formated drives. Immediately showed up as 130GB again. Here's the bios info from the 12000:
