:shocked
sdb and sdc do not have a right partition table :scratch :scratch :scratch (partitions 8,9 and 10 are missing )

How do you reset these disks?

[macdalor]

I didn't reset them manually...I just installed the firmware on to SDA (alone) and inserted the others following Lacie's procedure; The RAID management system from the Lacie's (CRAP) firmware dealt with the disks formatting and raid setup...

[Jocko]

:scratch partition 1 on sdb and sdc gives a bad behaviour as these partitions are the data partition instead of partition2 (this may explain why you have a strange behaviour)

But I need time how to restore their partition table and for today it is too late...


---edit---
I think the best way is :
- to destroy all existing raid from the web interface.
- use fvdw-sl console to destroy the partition table on sdb,sdc,sdd and sde (there are also issues on these two last disks)
- restart the nas with only sda
- and for each disk, do an hotplug one by one (plug the next disk only after formatting the new disk) and format them from lacie web interface

[macdalor]

I agree, let's chat tomorrow ...

[Jocko]

Hi,

About partition 1 present or missing, I think you must have sometime a gpt partition and otherwise a dos table (partition 1 must be the extended partition).

What howto did you follow to format sda ?
As you have 1TB disks, use a dos table is better and then you should create the partition table according with http://lacie.nas-central.org/wiki/Installing_firmware_on_fresh_disks_(2Big_2)

on fvdw-sl console can you post these outputs?

Code: Select all

fdisk -l
gdisk -l /dev/sda

Hi Jocko, ok I'll give that a try later on when back home.

The SDA was formated using FVDW's procedure and resulting as follow:
