Hi I have the ResierFS file system on my disks and I'm trying to empty each disk in turn so that I can reformat in xfs. I'm following the steps in these notes: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/using-unraid-to/manage-storage/file-systems/#converting-to-a-new-file-system-type This is what Ive done so far: stopped the array Navigate to Settings → Global Share Settings. In the Emptying disk(s) area, select the disk(s) to empty and Apply start the array On Main → Array Operation click Move Ive done all these steps except on step 4 I don't get a 'Move' button. I have a free disk in my array which is totally empty and of the same size (2tb) that I want to empty so its not like I don't have the free space. Does anyone know what might be going on? There's no read/write access happening on my disks to suggest that mover is working in the backgound. thanks Ives

ports on the back

yes Im booting froma usb flash drive and no, Ive never tried to use this feature before.

Ive tried some USB thumb drives to see if they would show up, but no luck. I've no idea how to run Unraid as a VM, so I guess no.

I'll give it a go in about an hour. I'm just finishing off a parity check atm

yes, absolutely. Ive also tried with several usb sticks and still nothing comes up

hi. yes I plugged it into another port for the second diag. Its a Seagate 1TB model SRD0NF1

thanks for looking into this for me here is the new diagnostics. unraidtower-diagnostics-20260406-1634.zip

thanks ever so much. Ive attached the diagnostics zip file unraidtower-diagnostics-20260406-1608.zip

thanks for replying. I'm not sure what you mean by diagnostics,but here is a screenshot I already have the Unassigned Devices Plus plugin

HI I'm trying to copy some data from my array to an external usb hard drive. I've installed unassigned devices plugin but my usb hard drive doesn't show up under unassigned devices in the main tab of the gui. Can anyone help me?

thanks frank

hi one of my 3 HDD's has failed. If I put a new one in, what is the procedure for rebuilding it from parity? thanks

brilliant. thanks so much. I was being an idiot and using the IP for the eth0 connection. All good. thanks

Ok thanks
