HP cciss question

[vonkobal]

Hi,

I'm seeing these in my messages log:

…

cciss 0000:0a:00.0:       blocks= 41942400 block_size= 512

cciss 0000:0a:00.0:       blocks= 16073975920 block_size= 512

cciss 0000:0a:00.0:       blocks= 16073975920 block_size= 512

…

I'm using HP P400 RAID controller … what are these messages about?

Kind regards, Marko Kobal

Hi, it's some kind of reporting. I'm seeing these from a logical drive on a P411 as well on CentOS 5.8 too, the internal disks are not reported.

512 byte block size and 41942400 blocks calculates into about 20GB.

16073975920 x 512B is about 8.2TB.

I have cciss version 3.6.28-RH1 (from modinfo cciss)
