  • [7.0.0-beta.1] Pool Info on single disk shows "unknown" for GUID/GPT Partition format (1TB SSD)

    Issue Description

     

    When Unraid displays pool information for an existing single disk ZFS volume, created this time in Proxmox, the Partition format is displayed as unknown if it is GPT.

     

    As per discussion in another thread, I know Unraid will itself (by default) create MBR partition table for all disks under 2TB.

    Expectation

    As Unraid supports importing/using disks that have already been previously provisioned, including ZFS, I'd expect the displayed information of the disk in the webui to reflect the correct information

     

     

    Testing

    Preparation: 1TB Samsung Evo 870 wiped clean of all formatting, then prepared as GPT and formatted as a ZFS single drive pool using the Proxmox GUI (version 8.2.1) - In shell, gdisk identifies the disk as having a GPT partition table with a protective MBR

     

    Steps:

    1. On a brand new (clean) 7.0.0-beta.1 installation, the drive in question appears below Unassigned Devices as ZFS format

    2. Add a pool of 1 disk and select the ZFS drive - format will show as "auto"

    3. Start Array

    4. Pool list will show the drive with correct capacity and format also correctly identified as ZFS

    5. Click the drive name/label to see its information

    6. Partition format shown as unknown

     


    Regression

    No regression testing. Unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth at the moment to roll back through releases to find out if this has ever correctly displayed GPT/GUID as the format

    I don't think this is a bug, and it will happen if the partition layout is not one of the two valid layouts Unraid creates (and recognizes), if you manually create a GPT partition with the correct layout it's correctly identified:

    But note that it should still work with a non standard layout, it just won't identify it.
