Hi, can someone confirm, that the recycle bin is now working with the rootshare setting? and if so which rootshare type do we have to use (UD vs samba extra config)? thanks for you work!

i see. the drives were carried over from another nas setup - i had unraid format them. should i use pre-clear next time or does deleting the old partition before formatting them next time?

yes you are correct, which is still a strange thing because i've created and formatted the drives using unraid. why would it put the partitions down inconsistently?

hi i shucked a wd elements 8tb into my array and now i am getting the error that the parity drive hast to be the biggest. my current setup is: data: 6 disk (4-8tb wd reds) parity: 1 disk (8tb wd red) i want to add the shucked drive as a data disk but get the error about parity not being the biggest disk. sector counts on the disks are identical what gives? EDIT: nvm the partition on the shucked drive is slightly smaller than the parity ( 7.814.025.540 vs 7.814.026.532) jarvis-diagnostics-20220331-1144.zip

shameless bump having the same problem too

is there any way i could modify the existing drives partiton layout to match what unraid expects without losing the data on the drives or moving it about a bunch?

if i understand you correctly i woud have to do a big data shuffle when adding new disks? adding existing disks in a vm (pre-formatted as xfs) will give me the unmountable: unsupported partition layout error. my existing disks are all xfs and about 75% full of data. i think i might get the same error when trying with them. i read somewhere that unraid partitions disks from sector 64 onwards and that might be the reason for the error since all my drives start at 0 and another thing just to clarify for me: if i somehow manage to add my disks to a new and unprotected array i could later add a parity drive without losing any existing data? (ofc if nothing fails beforehand)

hi, if i setup unraid without a parity drive (for the moment) - do i still need to clear the drives i am adding to the new array? i am thinking about switching back to unraid but don't want to do the data shuffle with all my existing drives (all in xfs). so tldr: new setup, no parity for now, add drives with existing data, skip clearing?, add parity drive later and establish parity.
