But otherwise no other issues. Note that WDC Greens are explicitly disqualified for use in RAID of any level by the manufacturer. We can complain til the cows come home but the reality is the manufacturer does not stand behind this product at all in RAID configurations. Anyone specifically familiar with WDC Greens, and if the lack of SCT ERC can be worked around in the usual way by increasing the SCSI command timer value? Or is there also something else? I vaguely recall something about drive spin down that can also cause issues, does that need mitigation? If no one chimes in, this information is in the archives, just search for 'WDC green' and you'll get an shittonne of results. OK so the next thing I want to see is why you're getting these messages from parted when you check sdc and sde for partition maps. At the time you do this, what do you see in kernel messages? Maybe best to just stick the entire dmesg for the current boot up somewhere like fpaste.org or equivalent. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
