I am using FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p5 #1. I have 6 SATA hard drives installed,
and a 7th disk recognized by the kernel but is not visible via sysinstall
(i.e, ad16 does not appear in the lists when trying to Fdisk or Label) and
nor am I able to add it manually via dd, fdisk, disklable, newfs, etc..
Any suggestions?
####The disks are not in RAID####
disk1 - ad4, 200GB, SATA, Maxtor
disk2 - ad6, 200GB, SATA, Maxtor
disk3 - ad8, 250GB, SATA, Maxtor
disk4 - ad10, 250GB, SATA, Maxtor
disk5 - ad12, 300GB, SATA, Maxtor - NEW - functioning fine
disk6 - ad14, 300GB, SATA, Maxtor - NEW - functionin finer
disk7 - ad16, 300GB, SATA, Maxtor - NEW - cannot fdisk, disklabel, mount
I/O attachment (again no RAID)
disk1,2 - HighPoint SATA 1520
disks 3,4,5,6 - HighPoint SATA 1640
disk 7 -either additional HighPoint SATA 1520 or on board SATA (Intel
865PERL)
I swapped disk7 into ad14 and it works fine (thus new hard drive is
operational)
