And I don't have a spare testbench with 3 drives to test it outside of my unraid server. I could use a USB to SATA controller to plug my too large seagate drive into my array, but my licence does not allow additional drives. On my unraid server I don't have empty SATA ports to test it. I would like to evaluate seagates solution which is written directly to the drive controller but don't have an unraid server on hand to test it directly in unraid.Ĭould I do some test without unraid by checking how linux does see my max LBA seagate drive? I would need to know which parameters are used by unraid Yes, I understood the issue of BIOS related limits.
If you are not sure about max LBA support, which hard disk parameters are queried during the disk size check? I could try to verify if these parameters get altered after I define a max LBA via seatools I have a Seagate drive, is the max LBA feature supported by unraid? Is it possible to assign partitions instead of disks to work around the drive too large issue? Update the parity drive to allow larger data drivesīecause you can not replace the parity drive in a degraded array so easily, I want to know more about the issues around too large hard drives before I have to deal with this issue. Which means in case of a data drive failure, I would need to replace 2 drives:
If any of my drives fail, I know about the issue that I can not use a replacement drive which is larger than the parity drive. I don't want to upgrade my parity drive size because if the parity drive fails I don't want to be forced to buy an unnecessary large replacement drive. My spare drive is larger than any other drive in my array. I use multiple drives with different sizes in my array.
