I've had this issue as well here in the last 2-3 months. I'm not sure what's causing the crashes but certain games really seem to piss the Hypervisor off. Valheim and Fortnite are 2 of them specifically. One change I did make is to hard set the framerate in the game and while it seems to have helped the frequency, it's still pretty poor.

So I think I figured it out. Weirdest thing, I had named the partition Backup_Data and every time I would remove the partition and try to add it again it would limit the partition size to 4GB. When I changed the name to just Backup, voila 2 TB. IDK if it was hung up, or if it is something with the naming convention? Anyhow, problem solved.

Frank, That's what I assumed too yet Unassigned only shows the single partition. It even recognized its 2tb. It's frustrating because when you goto format there really aren't any options outside of what file system I want to use. I'm afraid my best solution is to pull the drive and format on a windows pc. I was just hoping to avoid it and to learn a better way.

So I've worked through how to allow Unassigned devices to format, but I'm running into a weird issue where it only formats 4GB of the 2TB of disk space. I'm a newb to both Linux and UnRaid but I'm trying to learn. Is there an easier or better way for me to format that might lend to more success? I'm trying to go with NTFS, because I want to copy all of my critical data off my array to this drive to be able to remotely store it. I'm open to better suggestions for speed. Thanks in advance for replies!

Thank you for the response, however I'm looking more for an explanation of what this error message means and if it's important to the quality of the drive being added. Preclear looks like a pretty valid way to test for issues prior to being added to the array.

I'm trying to clear my 2nd disk to add to my new array after moving the data off of it to the new array. I immediately get this error at the beginning of the Preclear operation. I've searched the forums but haven't found a clear answer as to what's going on or what to do next. Thanks in advance for helping this UnRaid newb. ############################################################################################################################ # # # unRAID Server: verifying Preclear State of disk WD-WCC4N0350498. # # Verifying disk 'WD-WCC4N0350498' for unRAID's Preclear State. # # # # # # Step 1 of 2 - Verifying unRAID's signature: FAIL # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ############################################################################################################################ # Cycle elapsed time: 0:00:10 | Total elapsed time: 0:00:10 # ############################################################################################################################ --> RESULT: FAIL! /dev/sdg DOESN'T have a valid unRAID MBR signature!!!
