April 23, 201115 yr I have a motherboard that has the much frowned upon HPA option in the BIOS, which made a copy of the BIOS on one of my drives and prevented me from updating Unraid from version 4.5.3 to 4.7. I loooked at my options in the wiki and other post relating to HPA I decided to try the HDPARM -N method. I read it a few times followed the instructions and entered the native block size found in my sys log...and thats were things go down hill . After doing the HDPARM technique my drive is now detected at 317G when it is a 1.5TB Green drive. I have formatted it and it is still being detected as less than 1/3 its size, Any ideas system_log.txt

For some, "hdparm" is unable to detect the correct full size of the drive.
