flambot Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Greetings, I recently noticed that mymain is showing my 2x6TB drives as HPA with a question mark? I originally thought it was because unmenu was out-of-date, so I upgrade and found it the same. So I looked into HPA and am not sure what I should do - if anything. Surprised a 4TD drive shows correctly. As the parity is showing this, do I need to be concerned? My next 6TD drive is on it's way. They are all WD6TB reds. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I don’t know if Unmenu correctly detects HPA but you can search your syslog for HPA to confirm, if detected it will appear like this: ata1.00: HPA detected: current 3907027055, native 3907029168 ata1.00: ATA-8: SAMSUNG HD204UI, S2HFJ1BZ902507, 1AQ10001, max UDMA/133 Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I don't think MyMain has been updated for larger (> 4TB) drives yet with regard to HPA detection. I'm fairly sure the indications you're seeing are false and can simply be ignored. Hopefully Brian (bjp999 -- the author of MyMain) will chime in and confirm that ... and perhaps indicate when/if he plans to update it for these drives. Quote Link to comment
ohlwiler Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 You can suppress that (false) warning. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=14194.msg134248#msg134248 MyMain was/is a really impressive piece of work. I wish the Lime gui would steal a few ideas. Quote Link to comment
SSD Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I keep saying I will release an update but haven't gotten to it yet. Use the workaround posted. Quote Link to comment
flambot Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Thanks for the input. I think I can breathe a little easier. I found that post during my searching, but wasn't sure I was doing the right thing until I got more knowledgeable input from more informed people . Much appreciated. Quote Link to comment
