I don't know if this should go into "Storage" or "General Help" forum. Please move it in case it shouldn't be here.
I upgraded my 1TB drives with 6TB drives recently. I was hoping to use the 1TB in my desktop. I went through with the installation of Archlinux on it, but after I remove the installation media and when it tries to boot up from the HDD, I get the "This is a freenas data disk and cannot boot system"
I did overwrite the GPT partition header on the disk using gdisk too. How would I be able to use this disk for Linux? Funny thing is, that during Archlinux installation, it allows me to go through the entire installation process. I created partitions and also LVM volumes to install Archlinux on. But when I try to boot from the HDD, it gives me the above error indicating that the MBR didn't get overwritten somehow. I went through the Archlinux installation process twice, assuming I must have done something wrong on the first try, but the second time I got the same error message again.
I have already checked my BIOS and it is pointing to the only disk that my SFF desktop can hold as the first to boot from.
Do I have to put the disk back in my FreeNAS system and then wipe it before I can use it for other purposes?
