I have mysterius problems with old promise Vtrack 15100 sata disk raid array.
Size of array is about 7TB, but I can only access half of it?

Fdisk -l shows this and looks like disk are some ways of duplicate,
because there are same disk identified twice.
Anyway, due to 1024 (not 512), I cannot access all of the space?
For example parted says:
Warning: Device /dev/sdb has a logical sector size of 1024. Not all
parts of GNU Parted support this at the moment, and the working code
is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL.
GNU Parted 1.8.8
Using /dev/sdb
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) print
Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!
(parted)
How I can partition or access the full diskspace? Any clues?
thanks,
Eero
