244 3ware Serial ATA RAID Controller User Guide
Under Linux or FreeBSD use fsck /dev/sda1. If you have more than one
SATA device, substitute the correct drive letter and partition number, such as
sdb2, for sda1.

002E Replacement drive capacity too small
Event Type
Error
Cause
The storage capacity of the drive you are using as a replacement drive is too
small and cannot be used.
Action
Use a replacement drive equal to or larger than the drives already in use
002F Verify not started; unit never initialized
Event Type
Warning
Cause
A verify operation has been attempted by the 3ware RAID controller, but the
unit has never been initialized before. The unit will automatically transition to
initializing mode and then start a verify.
Action
None required.
This is considered a normal part of operation. Not all types of RAID units
need to be initialized in order to have full performance. The initialize will not
erase user data, but will calculate and write parity data or mirror data to the
drives in the unit.
