I have done some more reading of that thread on the ataraid list you linked before, and the bug reports they reference, and it seems my initial suspicions were correct. Your bios is using the Host Protected Area feature to reduce the size of the disk, and the kernel is resetting that. Could you try adding "ata_ignore_hpa=0" to your kernel command line at boot?
If you check your dmesg, you should see something like this now: [ 60.453908] ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) [ 60.456006] ata1.00: Host Protected Area detected: [ 60.456007] current size: 293044655 sectors [ 60.456008] native size: 293046768 sectors [ 60.457150] ata1.00: native size increased to 293046768 sectors I think that adding that parameter should get rid of the last line and the metadata will appear at the correct location. -- ich9R raid array not detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219393 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
