Hey there, the title pretty much says it all,
I'm setting up a FreeNas machine build from parts salvaged from work, school etc... My storage space consists of following:
3x 120gb IDE (sector count: 234441585)
1x 120gb SATA (sector count: 234492993)
1x 160gb SATA (sector count: 312581745)
My problem is: When creating an UFS RAID3 (can't afford ZFS, don't have the power) on the 3 IDE drives, everything goes smoothly. Those drives have exactly the same sector count, though their manufacturers differ.
When i add any of the SATA drives into the pool creation wizard, the process goes wrong, saying:
Error: Volume creation failed: "warning: /dev/ada0: only 120034123264 bytes from 160041885184 bytes used., warning: /dev/ada4: only 120034123264 bytes from 120060444160 bytes used., Can't store metadata on /dev/ada4: Input/output error., geom: Not fully done., "
I assume that this is caused by the different sector count, is there any way to create a volume, despite that? Or to shrink the partition, both is fine, i tried shrinking the partition using fdisk -u, but it fails.
Thanks for reading, hope you can think something up.
