    New drive won’t format

    See some syslog error entries I have not seen before relating to /dev/sdc (disk3) which is I assume the one you are trying to format.   It appears there is a failed attempt to update the partition table..   I also notice that you are on a very old Unraid release (6.11.2) and cannot remember if there were errors in that release that might be relevant.

     

    it might be worth making a backup of your Unraid flash drive and then updating to the current Unraid release (6.12.10) and seeing if the problem still occurs.  You can use the manual update method as described here to do the upgrade.   Make sure all plugins are up-to-date, and if you encounter any problems immediately after updating you can boot in Safe Mode to see if they are plugin related.   At the very least that will mean you are on the current Unraid release which is likely to make further troubleshooting easier.

    That’s worked… I wonder why it being out of date release didn’t work. Never realised it wasn’t up to date. Thanks for your help nonetheless…

    I do not see any attempt to format in the diagnostics 😒
     

    Have you tried rebooting to see if it then works?

    Yeah I tried last night. Multiple times. And restarted it. I’d also formatted the drive to Ntfs to see if that would work. Unraid cleared the drive this morning and that took a good few hours. And it’s gone green in the array list. But still not able to format.

    I recently purchased a new 4TB drive exactly the same to my previous 2+ parity in my server. 
     

    the drive has added but when I try to format it after starting the array it begins to format, then just cancels and no error message is given.

    If not there is more to worry about since a new install won't remember anything including your disk assignments.

    After a reallocation of the USB and reboot, the server has come back to life, however I'm still worried about the potential that the usb is failing, and want to familiarise myself on how to make a new usb.

    At 11:20 pm 12/22 you either pulled out the flash drive or it dropped offline due to a device problem or flakey connection

     

    Reinsert, reboot (a parity check will ensue which can be safely cancelled) and see what happens.

     

    If it continues, use a different flash drive or transfer to a new flash

    What would be the best cause of action for a new flash.

     

    Should i create a new bootable usb using unraid tool, then copy across the config folder?

    All of your configuration (all settings from the webUI) is in the config folder of flash. None of your configuration is on your disks, only your data is on your disks. Without your configuration it won't know your disk assignments, user and share settings, plugins, docker setup, ...

     

    You must always keep a current backup of flash.

     

    Can you copy the flash drive on your PC?

    I haven’t tried anything yet, I didn’t dare try anything incase I made it worse, which I usually do. Is it worth turning the server off?
