I have an eSATA box (2 HDDs) that when operated in BIG mode shows lots 
of errors during startup.

Both HDDs are started then stopped and started again.

When first starting up the system reports a size of 7.99 GiB, finally 
the correct value of 2.72 TiB is displayed.

Can I trust a system showing the errors below?

Regards, Peter.

I suspect this is one of those funky Silicon Image RAID PMP things that 
has the fake "Config Disk" that shows up to allow configuring the RAID 
array, and then presumably it then goes offline and then the actual RAID 
array device shows up..

Yes, it is a Silicon Image (Sil5744) box.

Thanks for this explanation.

Now I am stuck with this box.

BIG mode shows these errors and I will not trust a system showing that 
many errors on startup.

JBOD mode shows no errors but requires PMP to see both HDDs which my 
SATA controller does not support. Maybe I can find an eSATA Express Card 
with PMP support that works in Linux.

Regards, Peter.

It will be okay.  It just looks much worse due to ACPI errors but that
won't affect normal operation.  Other than that, it's just the config
device going away and the pseudo container device coming online.
