Okay, I think I got it fixed. The problem was in the used SATA cable. I found out this was the problem because my harddisk had "hdX". It should have been "sdX". I tried it by swapping the SATA cable to SATA III. The cable I used has this text on it: "AWM E156437 STYLE 2095 VW-1 80C 300V Golden Bridge --- Serial ATA 2Pairs/AWG26 100ohm". The cable I plugged in this time says the following: "Serial ATA 6G 26AWG E208931 AWM STYLE 21149 80C 30V TRI WIRE TECHNOLOGY" Its quite a stupid mistake from me, but I have no experience or knowledge of those SATA cables at all. If someone knows what the differences are, and why the first cable didnt show any partitions, can you please tell me. I dont want to make this mistake again.

I now followed this little guide here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=30496.msg274120#msg274120 to create partitions on a HDD via telnet. I also deleted all the partitions I had and created only 1 this time. To test out if I could get "<disk-ID>-partX" to show up in my putty after using the "ls /dev/disk/by-id" command. Sadly this isnt working. I also tried mounting the partitions via unMENU, that works except that the mounts are somehow stopped sharing after a few days. That would not be a really big of a problem, except that I use this hard disk to store my security camera records on it. I hope someone knows what I'm doing wrong with my formatting(?) partitioning(?)

Hey, I'm trying to set up SNAP for an internal hard drive. I want it to have 3 partitions, so I formatted and partioned it on my Windows PC (2 partitions are 250gb each and 1 partition is 500gb). At first I tried to not format them to any type so I could create a reiserfs filesystem on it. That didnt work, so I deleted all the partitions and created 3 new partitions, this time formatted with NTFS. This sadly doesnt work either. In unMENU the partitions are showing up as you can see in the image: I do not know why it says there are 4 partitions, but I think its some sort of metadata of the disk (referring to hdc1) (if there could be some sort of metadata). Pressing "Create resierfs on /dev/hdc1" gives me the following message: Warning: start=1985 - this looks like a partition rather than the entire disk. Using fdisk on it is probably meaningless. [use the --force option if you really want this] I am however not worried about this message, it said the same thing on my USB stick which was working with SNAP (no partitions but it also showed hdc1 & hdc5). Now I'm trying to find the partitions with the SNAP tool but they are not showing up. Neither in "snap.sh -listDevInfo" as in "ls /dev/disk/by-id" The disk with partitions I'm trying to find has the following ID: "..._WD-WCC4J3147612". When I try to mount it using "snap.sh -m <id>" it tells me: "Partition doesn't exist, cannot be mounted.". I also tried mounting using the webapplication for SNAP but that did not do anything I first thought this was a Linux problem with showing the partitions but then I thought the partitions should not have shown up in the unMENU. Now I'm wondering why it doesnt work and I hope that someone can tell me what is wrong. I'm using unRaid 5.0.5 (x64) and the latest version of SNAP (already reinstalled it via the unMENU user scripts) I hope someone can help me, Thanks in advance.
