Thanks, I did that and it seemed to format just fine. It's running through a new parity check now but so far no errors. All HDDs are showing with their full capacities with a total array capacity of about ~47TB. Out of curiousity, what is the difference from doing erase vs. a normal format and why did I need to create a new config to do it? Does format only work on the current partition whereas erase just resets the drive to ground zero? Thanks again!

Thank you both for the quick responses. Just to make sure I'm following the instructions, looks like I stop the array -> Tools -> New Config. Should I preserve anything from the existing config or just a full reset?

Yes, I did do that. Here are the diagnostics: phillips-unraid-diagnostics-20251103-2010.zip

Thanks for the reply. I did, yes. It still says they are unmountable

Hey there, I'm very new to unRAID and a lot of this stuff is still going over my head on initial setup. I'm moving my Plex server from an old/failing Synology NAS to a new dedicated server build using unRAID. I have a total of 10 6TB drives (old drives that I got for a good deal) that all spin up and have goo SMART readings. Currently there is no data on these 10 drives, my Plex files are safely housed on the Synology NAS for now, but it's only a matter of time for that. I followed Elevated Systems guide for how to set up my server but I'm having difficulties getting my hard drives to cooperate. For some reason only 2 of the drives are recognized when I start up the array: I've tried starting the array in maintenance mode and running xfs_repair but unRAID is giving me an error I'm not sure how to fix: I've tried perusing the forums and Google but I haven't found anything that seems to help so far. Or possibly nothing that I've been able to follow closely enough to execute properly. Any help would be much appreciated. I can post whatever logs you need/want to see. Thank you in advance.
