ata1.00: HPA unlocked: 976771055 -> 976773168, native 976773168
Unfortunately when the libata transition happened, Ubuntu decided to
unlock the HPA by default, because there was a bug in the old ide driver
that did the same. Some work has been under way lately to correct this
issue upstream by having the kernel only unlock the HPA automatically if
it is required to access a defined partition.
That would have saved me a lot of trouble. I was about to dd /dev/zero
to both disks and start over again but knowing what i do now, that still
would not have worked.
Nice, everything has fallen into place now. I know why my disk would
only be detected as part of the array after power cycling and why
dmraid wouldn't detect it but, my array is broken and i want ALL my
bytes back. All i have to do is re-enable hpa at the right place to
get the raid working again and tell the kernel at boot not to mess
with hpa. But like i say MY BYTES AND I WANT THEM BACK.
Yep, that's what you need to do.
Once i'd figured out the nvidia raid metadata was written to the second
to last sector, i re-enabled hpa to the position in the log, set kernel
command "libata.ignore_hpa=0", dd'd the last two sectors to a file, then
dd'd it back on with hpa unset. Now both os'es are happy and so am i.
