Hi,
So I have thoroughly read 18.3 - Adding Disks, and think I've got a pretty good grip on the concept and execution. My question is before that point, which is not explicitly stated in the manual. I have the disk, as purchased, ready to be formatted. When I put it in the drive bay, it is not listed when I use atacontrol. Does the disk need to be attached prior to initializing? Or can I go right into dd=if=/dev/zero... How do I confirm the new disk is in ad6, as I expect it to be?
