Probably because the SATA drive configured as an array (and then exported as a SCSI device) on the ami card has different geometry than when natively plugged into a SATA controller. And the fact that the card gobbles up a little bit of space on each drive to store the array config. > to work around this i've made sure to only allocate less than > the 388,671,488 sectors that the controller is seeing. now > things are running fine. Wipe and recreate the partition/slice/disklabel from scratch. The on-disk configuration doesn't match what the controller thinks it should be. -- Jon Simola Systems Administrator ABC Communications
