  1. @limetech, just wanted to confirm the issue still exists in RC2:

     

    Here are diags from beta 30:

    And here are the results of `hexdump -C -n 512 /dev/sdh`

  2. any chance this was resolved in rc2 @limetech?

  3. @limetech, any chance this is fixed in beta35? I can't chance it as I wont have a recourse back to nvidia drivers since the old plugins are dead in the water so I don't want to change bumping up to then have to go back without a way to go to the nvidia driver sets.

    Is it possible that this drive was pre-cleared and then used to rebuild a disabled disk?

     

    No you won't be stuck on beta25 🤪

    that is definitely possible, but asking my brain to think back 3 years is a big task hahaha. It would have been one of 2 things, a rebuild of a disabled disk or a replacement of a 4TB disk as 3 years ago my server only had room for 8 drives.

    The issue you are seeing with -beta30 is being caused by that particular hard drive having a "pre-cleared" signature in the MBR, yet, I'm assuming that when you boot -beta25 (or earlier), it mounts ok and there are files on that disk - is that correct?

     

    If so, this should be an "impossible" state to get into - I'm wondering if you recall and give me a little background info that particular drive.  That is, did you at one time in the past run 'pre-clear' on that drive?

    This drive is functioning 100% fine in beta25 and earlier. 29/30 it wont mount.

     

    I honestly don't recall. I would say I have pre-cleared 90% of my drives but their was a time when I didn't have the ability to pre-clear due to a drive failure and no extra bays to use (aka I was under the gun). Its possible this was the drive that was not, but I doubt it. The drive is roughly 3 years old.

     

    Is their a way out of this state, or with this drive am I stuck on beta25 for eternity haha?

    thank you and as always, you guys are the best!

    On beta25 is fine.  Just make sure the problematic device is still 'sdh' - if not, substitute that device id.

    Thank you.  Please open terminal, type this command and post the output:

    
    hexdump -C -n 512 /dev/sdh

    (that is non-destructive, it's dumping the first 512 bytes of the device, aka, the MBR - Master Boot Record)

    I assume in a "broke" state? or as beta25 right now?

    Please post the complete diagnostics after you get the partition error.

    I am kind of scared to do it again, for a 3rd time haha. Before I do, if the drive goes into that state, is that a state that parity can get it out of? I just don't want to lose 8TB of data because a drive is failing but not throwing a "failure" per-say.
