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.
