If I just want to go ahead and leave those disks as is can I just check off the checkbox and start the array like it's suggesting there. "Start will just record the new disk positions and bring the array on-line. We recommend you start a Parity-Check afterwards just to be safe." Obviously I don't want to lose my data in this and in my drive upgrades I can replace those HPA disks that way over the next few days. Thanks Edit: I tried the above and it seems to have worked, not sure why those two disks would have had HPA on them, but as I upgrade disks here I'll work on replacing them. As it stands I can access everything and all seems right with the world. Thanks!

Hey everyone, Hoping someone can give me a hand here, I ran a parity check last night on 4.7 and upgraded to 5.0-rc3 today. I stopped the array, did a power down on the pc. Moved the flash drive to another pc and replaced bzroot and bzimage on the flash drive overwriting the two that were already there. When I start up I'm getting this error message: Attached is the syslog. The disks seem to be in the correct place, this is what I copied to notepad from the devices tab in 4.7 before I upgraded: parity device: pci-0000:00:11.0-scsi-2:0:0:0 host3 (sdc) WDC_WD15EADS-00P8B0_WD-WMAVU0931463 disk1 device: pci-0000:00:11.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 host1 (sda) WDC_WD10EADS-00L5B1_WD-WCAU45178405 disk2 device: pci-0000:00:11.0-scsi-1:0:0:0 host2 (sdb) WDC_WD10EADS-00L5B1_WD-WCAU45177770 disk3 device: pci-0000:00:11.0-scsi-3:0:0:0 host4 (sdd) WDC_WD15EADS-00P8B0_WD-WMAVU1030189 disk4 device: pci-0000:00:14.1-ide-1:0 ide1 (hdc) WDC_WD10EADS-00L5B1_WD-WCAU45405441 disk5 device: unassigned cache device: unassigned Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks. Edit: The reason I'm updating is I'm running out of room and need to add new disks, I'm generally a 'if it's working, don't mess with it' kinda guy. (For these reasons.) newsys.txt

Hey guys, Sorry if this has been discussed, I did some searching around but didn't see the answer. Right now I have a WD15EADS drive as my parity drive and there's a good deal on a WD15EARS drive. My question is once I install the jumper on pins 7-8 will the size of the EARS drive still be equivalent to or smaller than the WD15EADS drive that is currently my parity drive? It's a good deal but I probably won't bother if I need to swap my parity drive to my new drive, it's a good deal but I'm not really pressed for space at the moment. I'm assuming that they didn't change up the size of the drives when they went from EADS to EARS but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks

I can also speak for this board, I'm using the mobo/proc combo the OP is and everything is working fine as far as I can tell, no errors in syslog. T
