10TB HDDs not able to format under linux
by tet024 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6EZYE)
Hi,
I have a strange scenario where I have a HDD which I can't format under linux. I tried both ubuntu and unraid distributions. The SATA HDD is using a usb to sata 5bay enclosure. The HDD is being detected correctly fdisk -l shows the disk correctly but when I try to format it just loops and no progress is done. I just can see the following error.
Unaligned partial completion
With Windows and Mac OSX the disk is formatted and partition created in both MBR and GTP mode.
Any ideas on what may be the issue as this is perplexing me abit.
With Ubuntu I tried DD the drive
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdi count=1 bs=512
and
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdi count=1 bs=4096
I also tried
GPARTED and No Progress (seems like it crashes) and also the Disk utility which comes with UBUNTU it remains 0.0%.
All the above options didn't work.
Would appreciate any help. Unfortunately I can't connect the SATA drive directly.
THanks
TeT
