I've searched and do not seem to have found the answer.

I have a 3ware 12 drive card with 5 x 1tb drives in raid-5 configuration.
Total array size is 4 TB or 3.6 something to be exact. When I try to format with naslite it takes a while, but only formats to 1.6 TB.

I live booted to Fedora live CD and formatted the array to 4TB ext3.

I used parted and set the drive to be gpt and not msdos (MBR) since that has limitation of 2tb and I want to format to 4.

Long story short the partition is ext3 at 4 TB, but naslite does not see it when booted and says "failed" for Drive-0.

Any thoughts or help would be really appreciated.


Thanks,
Vadim

Upgrade to the latest version, this issue was fixed some time ago.

Mounted right away with naslite 2.6.4

THANK YOU!!!!


One last question, if I was to reformat under naslite with "8" -format drive action, would it format to 4 TB or do we need to format in Live distro systems still?

Thanks,
Vadim

NL will format the max capacity of the raid array.
