Trouble booting new drive
January 15, 2019 11:13PM
I'm attempting to upgrade the HDD I have attached to my pogoplug v4 mobile from a 1TB to a 4TB. To support a single partition greater than 2TB, I'm using a GPT partition table rather than an msdos partition table. I'm using GParted 0.33.0 to do so. When I attempt to boot the drive, I see the following in netconsole:

If I switch to creating a smaller partition on the same disk using msdos partition table, I can boot just fine. What am I doing wrong? Is gparted creating this hybrid partition table I keep reading about, even though I select "gpt"?

Most likely your guess is correct. There are more than one partition on your disk (as u-boot sees it). 

GPT: first_usable_lba incorrect: 22 > 0

Try using command parted to have more control, where you can completely remove all partitions and then create a new GPT partition. Using Ext3 if you could. If you want to use Ext4, make sure that the file system is finalized right after formatting (Ext4 has this lazy default, so the unfinalized partition cannot be use as boot partition with u-boot).

Even with forcing parted to start the partition at offset 0 (and ignoring all performance warnings along the way), the partition was started at 17.4kB. Also, uboot continues to call out first_usable_lba as 22, even though that's what it was before. I checked before deleting and recreating with parted, and gparted had set the start of the partition at 1049kB. So how is first_usable_lba 22 both times? If the first usable LBA is 22, and the sector size is 512B, shouldn't that mean the partition starts at 11kB?

Only1KW,

Try using the entire disk for the single partition.
