I have an eSATA box (2 HDDs) that when operated in BIG mode shows lots of errors during startup. Both HDDs are started then stopped and started again. When first starting up the system reports a size of 7.99 GiB, finally the correct value of 2.72 TiB is displayed. Can I trust a system showing the errors below?
I suspect this is one of those funky Silicon Image RAID PMP things that has the fake "Config Disk" that shows up to allow configuring the RAID array, and then presumably it then goes offline and then the actual RAID array device shows up..
