Added new Data Drive - No Increase in capacity reported

[meep]

Hi

 

Running 50b4 with 3x1TB data drives, a 1TB parity and 500GB cache with about 600GB of data and 4x shares with no include/exclude restrictions.

 

I added a precleared 1TB drive as disk 4, restarted unRaid and formatted the drive. It appears fine in the 'MAIN' tab but on mounting one of my shares (either SMB or AFP from my mac), the drive reports a capacity of 3GB (2.4TB available). I would have expected it to report 4TB?

 

Looking at the shares tab, all shares report 2.4TB free, would have expected 3.4TB.

 

Is this normal? Do I need to restart the entire unRaid machine?

I would expect 3TB of space. (The parity and cache drives are not counted)

Your PC is probably caching the resulting "space" numbers.

 

Only way to know for sure what is happening is to look in your syslog.

thanks for quick response.

 

I now have a total of 4x 1TB data drives, 1TB parity & cache. I added the 4th data drive and would expect 4TB available space.

 

unraid is showing only 3TB space.

 

Log attached as well as some screengrabs

Well, a full server restart fixed it.

 

I was reluctant to do that as I suffer from the 5b4 bug where all drives get messed up on reboot.

 

Thanks for the attention.

I reported this issue early on in the 5.0 beta 4 announcement thread [ http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=10840.msg103125#msg103125 ]. A simply stop and start of the array solves the issue. What's needed is to restart the shfs process. It seems to be missing at certain stages, such as adding of drives to the array. The management console, emhttp, will soft-restart SAMBA but not the user share service.
