Finally: I got the thing going. It works. That means the system very quietly hushes its ventilator words of comfort. The ALT-3 brought up the 3Ware BIOS, and I initiated RAID 6. It took a few hours to finish. No problem. Visited a friend, had dinner.
But now, but now! I opened the NL Administration Utility, and went to option 3. There I can see that the logical disk, my RAID 6 Array, is recognized by NL:
0 - Disk-0, DEVICE-HDA 1 - Disk-1, DEVICE-SDA, HOST-0, BUS-0, TARGET-0, LUN-0
I choose Option 1. The only thing I can do is activate option 8 now, Format Disk-1. When I do that, I get an ERROR!.
What is in the Telnet window is the following:
Checking that no-one is using this disk right now ... OK
Disk /dev/discs/disc1/disc: 0 cylinders, 64 heads, 32 sectors/track read: Invalid argument
sfdisk: read error on /dev/discs/disc1/disc - cannot read sector 0 /dev/discs/disc1/disc: unrecognized partition table type Old situation: No partitions found
ERROR!
Formatting of Disk-1 failed.
Here's the end of the syslog (after the discovery of the 3Ware 9xxx Storage Controller):
