Restore on Adaptec 1430SA RAID 10 - only half disk size available
I use an Adaptec 1430SA with 4 x 500 GB WDC SATA drives configured as a RAID 10
within a Fujitsu CELSIUS 470 Workstation.
When I boot the machine, the controller correctly shows ONE ARRAY of 931,25 GB
Then I boot Acronis Backup & Restore 10 (Build 10.0.11639) from a CD to restore a
backup image. When I start the disk manager of B&R 10, it show exactly half of the
capacity of that RAID array which is about 465 GB. I tried a restore of my backup
image, but that is (as expected) not bootable.
Any other RAID configuration works fine. I tried a mirror with 2 disks only - fine. I
created a stripe of all 4 disks with 1,8 TB (I wouldn´t really want to work with ;-) - fine!
Searching this forum, I couldn´t find any similar cases. So I have no more idea, what to do?
regards

Hi Yana,
thanks for the reply to my problem. Unfortunately I couldn´t give it a try before today.
I followed the description, mounted a FAT32 formatted USB device, created a sysinfo dir on that, but the sysinfo command then comes up with some errors:
sysinfo > /mnt/tmp/sysinfo/sysinfo.txt shows ->
CP: cannot stat ´/var/log/trueimage_setup.log´
CP: cannot stat ´/etc/fstab´
CP: cannot stat ´/tmp/*.hex´
I understand, what this is telling me, but no idea what to do ;-)
Regars

Hello Michael,
Thank you for replying. Please let me assist you.
You can try the following commands:
# sysinfo
# cp /var/lib/Acronis/sysinfo/* /mnt/tmp
# umount /mnt/tmp
The file will be saved as: SysinfoOutput.tar.bz2
However, to make it more convenient for you, you can collect this information from the program GUI: For Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Build 11345 and higher you can use Tools -> Collect system information menu.
If you need additional assistance, please let me know.
Thank you.
