The old IDE drivers didn't honor the drive's request not to use. libata, however, now behaves correctly and honors it. libata.ignore_hpa=1 https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-May/msg01695.html and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/F7Common Now if someone can explain to me if it is safe to write the partition table saying I only have one partition when I built a raid-5 on /dev/sd? instead of /dev/sd?1 Thanks!
