AS1000A with Mylex DAC960 RAID-5 as only disk

[Gheorghe Ardelean]

Hi,

IIRC if the disk has already a partition (e.g. from ia32 or something
else) you have to zero out the first sectors in order to be reconized.

I am allways doing

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mydiscdev count=100 bs=512

Unfortunately this should be done on an other machine or on other OS on
the same machine (if available). After this the disk is recognized.

I think this is written somewhere in the docs/faqs or mailarchives.

Regards,

Johny.
