Two disks in a RAID-1 (mdadm) configuration, how come the first one
has an issue w/HPA as the firmware of both disks is the same..?
l1:~# smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep -i bytes
User Capacity: 150,038,863,360 bytes
l1:~# smartctl -a /dev/sdb | grep -i bytes
User Capacity: 150,039,945,216 bytes
l1:~#
Why does this occur?
Presumably somebody or something set up a host protected area on one
drive and not the other.. I believe there are some utilities out there
that can be used to disable the HPA and allow the full capacity to be used.
