comment Unable to format drives previously used in RAID array - weird 15bit mode
One other weird thing is this, the PC doesn't like my USB IDE adaptor and does not boot with it connected, but I did get it to work once by plugging it in at just the right moment in the boot process and a drive which I had written 0xFFFF over the superblock was connected, when I read it I am sure I got 0xFFFF back, but when connected to the IDE interface I get 0x7FFF. The thing is I also get 0x7FFF when I read it through the USB adaptor on the Mac so I don't know what to think. I have been unable to get the USB adaptor to work a second time so had sort of disregarded the one off event.

I believe the results are the same regardless of drive and which IDE channel I use, I am half way through writing zeros over the whole of one of the 500Gb drives atm so can't retest to be absolutely certain.

As I said, it was 4 drives which IIRC were RAID 0+1 array. The machine I am doing this on does not support RAID, I am mounting one drive at a time. The 1.6Tb number must be coming off the drive somehow but I can't fathom it.

Sorry, this is with the drive connected via IDE and the PC booted from a USB memory stick with the gparted live iso image as suggested by John Kintzele, but for some reason his answer has disappeared.

comment Google pubsub async java API clean shutdown
Thanks for the suggestion but this isn't the problem. The process has multiple subscriptions and after calling stopAsync() on each subscription it goes into a quiescent state where it's just waiting. After your post I did add the call to awaitTerminated() as each subscription is stopped, but this did not fix the problem.

Well yes I could, but that's not what I asked. Thanks anyway.
