dianasta Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Hi There, I was wondering why 2 Seagate 3TB ST3000DM001-9YN166 drives show different sizes in unmenu, image is attached. I'm runnig v5.0-rc6-r8168-test2 (Experimental fix/test for mpt2sas controllers (LSI)). But the geometry is identical. root@Tower:~# hdparm -g /dev/sdc /dev/sdc: geometry = 364801/255/63, sectors = 5860533168, start = 0 root@Tower:~# hdparm -g /dev/sds /dev/sds: geometry = 364801/255/63, sectors = 5860533168, start = 0 Thanks.

aptalca Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 What does it say when you hover over the + ? HPA usually causes a change in reported size Link to comment
dianasta Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 There is no HPA, the drives are identical as per hdparm utility: root@Tower:~# hdparm -N /dev/sdc /dev/sdc: max sectors = 5860533168/5860533168, HPA is disabled root@Tower:~# hdparm -N /dev/sdv /dev/sdv: max sectors = 5860533168/5860533168, HPA is disabled Smart information shows similar sizes for both drives.
