I read again carefully the very long topic to understand why now the free size is null for the non system disks (sdb -> sde)
First, when you built their partition table with fidsk (viewtopic.php?f=30&t=1440&start=290#p11794), the disks were nicely handled
But after you built again their partition table with gdisk nowhere I saw that you formatted their data partition (sd?8) :whistle
To check this, do with putty this command
- Code: Select all
/sbin/vol_id /dev/sdb8
Note : I think that we must fix one by one the issues.
So currently, I suggest that we resolve first your problem with the disk
and after :
2/ with fvdw fix the issue with power command (did you do all tests asked by fvdw ?)
3/ fix the boot script issue about the disk database.
about this point, we make some progress and indeed a new kernel version is required. Now we must validate how the esata will be handled.
I did some tests with esata and I had no issue with the shell console. So your esata cable should have a problem or you did not fully plug in it
4/ deepen later the led management for 5big1
