Same Disk, getting "Replacement Disk Too Small"


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

Been running unRAID server for about 3 years now without any problems. Currently running 4.6 Final. Tried to do a quick forum search but I didn't really see a solution.

 

Today I decided to transfer the array into an Antec Twelve Hundred case.  Stopped the array, powered down and uneventfully moved everything over. Booted up, reassigned drives and noticed a red ball next to one of my disks due to a replacement disk being too small. Completely perplexed here, as this is the same drive I've been using. I've rebooted the array, checked power and SATA cables to no avail. My syslog is attached, any input would be greatly appreciated.

You're a victim of HPA (Host Protected Area). You have it on multiple drives. You need to look into it and do a lot of reading before moving on to dealing with it. Odds are you have your drives connected to a Gigabyte motherboard or at one point in time had them in a system with a Gigabyte board.
