-can you please post the output of
sfdisk -luS
-Do you still have the partition table produced by Alt-F? Or at least have an
ideia of the differences/changes you made?

First off thatnks for the work on the ALT-F project. I have a similar problem
with 2xWD20EARS. I'm trying to manually align as per the same document listed
above as well as though the ALT-F manual partitions part of the web but no luck
yet so not sure what manually aligned would yield..
Here are some of the requested outputs:

I'm assuming that you are trying to create a raid1 array using the disk wizard.
I discovered a typo, but I'm not sure if it is the culprit.
Could you please run the attached script in order to get some diagnostics?
It does not changes anything on your disks.
Download the script to the box, login it and execute the script, typing
/bin/sh <directory_where_script_is>/fakewizard.sh >& fakewizard.log
and post as attachments the produced files:
fakewizard.log
/tmp/sfdisk-sda
/tmp/sfdisk-sda
Thanks

I can't post my sfdisk -lus results because fun_plug is saying my home dir
doesn't exist anymore (being trying to fix that for a few days). Since I didn't
check sfdisk -lus when I formated (no raid) using 0.1b6 I didn't see if sdb4
was created. So is there a reason why for grimwoodian sdb3 is used instead of
sdb4? Also why is sdb2 ending at 3518037296 and the next partition starting at
3907029169, when I did mine manualy I used the default recommendation from
fdisk wich was 1 sector after the previous one (like 1.09 does grimwoodian
example: sdb4 ending 2088449 sdb3 start 2088450). Seems like the missing space
could be that jump.

In "sfdisk -lus" the last 's' is uppercase.
> fun_plug is saying my home dir doesn't exist anymore
I don't understand that statement.
> when I formated using 0.1b6 I didn't see if sdb4 was created
You have to understand that the Alt-F wizard does not create a dlink compatible
disk partition! Dlink expects a rather strange partition scheme, that I won't
endorse.
I just added to my TODO2 list:
-disk wizard: warn users that the created partitioning is not dlink compatible,
or flash Alt-F
-disk partitioner: warn users to create a dlink compatible partitioning, or
flash Alt-F
As for the missing disk space, that's what I'm investigating.
I'm using two old 80GB disks for Alt-F development, and with those disks the
problem does not arise.
That's why I ask you and grimwoodian (or anybody else) to run the fakewizard.sh
script, to see where the error is when using huge disks.

Thanks for the prompt response... sorry for the delay.. had troubles getting
back into ALT-F after a reboot (ie web interface passwd not working but could
connect and log in via telnet).. using the dlink firmware restored defaults and
it worked.
I reformatted the drives also with the dlink software (because ext4 meant they
were unrecognizable by dlink firmware).. and haven't had the time to reformat
using wizard.. but ran the scripts as requested.
Can reformat using wizard and post results if needed as wizard

The culprit is sfdisk, that reports a negative number of sectors:
sfdisk -s /dev/sda
-193969064
With one 1TB disk I have this doesn't happens:
sfdisk -s /dev/sda
976762584
So this problem will affect users with 1.5 and 2 TB disks.
Can you please try the attached modified fakewizard.sh and post the same files
as before?

As requested here are the files using the version 1 of the file. I still have
not reformatted using the Alt-F wizard. I renamed the sfdisk files to have a -1
extension as well.

Everything looks fine now.
If you want to try the wizard fix, use the B6+ release that you can found at
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1555717/DNS-323/Alt-F/experimental/index.html
an report back.

Installed the B6+ release and used the wizard to reformat the drives (ext4) and
recreate the Raid 1.. after format and resync.. web interface reports the raid
partition as 1.8TB with a 0.5GB swap partition on each drive.
Also appears the fan issue related with C1 hardw works.. web status now report
low instead of RPM.. my system temp never exceeds 39DegC so never seen medium
or high..
Now just need to copy back all my files.. and tweak set-up (install media
sevrer transmission etc).. and set NAS to no go back to dlink firmware..
Keep up the good work!

Just lower the turn-points in Services->System->sysctrl->configure to watch
other fan speeds.
Watchout! You should have already flashed Alt-F!
Dlink does not recognize ext4, so it won't recognize the fun_plug.
To use ext4 only, you have to flash the box first.
If you don't want to do it, use ext3.
