December 28, 201213 yr Hi, I'm trying to replace a 1TB hard Drive with a 3TB one. I currently have an identical 3TB parity drive, 2TB data, 1TB data, and 500gb data drives. I followed the procedure in the FAQ's, I stopped the array, shutdown, replace the smaller drive with the larger one, and rebooted. After rebooting, the drive appears via the dropdown menu where the replaced drive was, however it only shows there to be a 400k bit size drive as opposed to the 2.8 million I was expecting. I tested the drive on another computer, and found nothing wrong with it. I was wondering, is there something I'm not thinking of?
December 28, 201213 yr The controller you are plugging it into may not support 3TB drives. That would be my guess.
December 28, 201213 yr Author Sure, So it's an HP N40L microserver, specs here: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13716_div/13716_div.HTML. It's got 8gb of ram and currently has the following drives: 3tb Seagate ST3000dm001 hard drive serving as the parity drive. 2tb Seagate ST2000dm001 hard drive 1tb Samsung HD103SJ hard drive 500gb Samsung HD502HJ hard Drive I want to replace the 1tb drive with another different 3tb ST3000dm001 drive that I just bought.
December 28, 201213 yr The specs you linked show max capacity 4x2TB. I realize you are currently using a 3TB parity drive, but how does it show up in the syslog? Please post a full syslog with both 3TB drives connected.
