Unassigned Drives Gone Wild!


Recommended Posts

I have one unassigned drive that isn't showing any SMART info when you click on the drive name. Clicking on SMART short self-test: does nothing. Although using smartctl -a /dev/sdn I can see the SMART data. I also have a bunch of errors in my log for other drives that aren't there. Maybe old Unassigned Devices?

 

And out of curiosity, why does this particular drive show up as sdn while the other drives show up as Dev 1, Dev2... ?

I would do the following:

  • Update all plugins.
  • Remove preclear plugin temporarily.
  • Update Unraid to 6.9.2 and get off the RC.
  • Reboot server.

Post further issues on the UD forum.

Will do.  BTW, do you know what these errors mean? Could they have been when I disconnected the UD disk from a windows network share? Or some other process that was trying to access it when I unmounted it?

Are you sure it was properly umnounted.

Yes, I clicked unmounted and waited til it said mount. I did notice after I remounted it that it seemed to come line and back online on it's own. Meaning it said "unmount" then "mount" then "unmount" by itself. I then unmounted and moved it to another USB port.

 

odd indeed. Could be a bad USB port or Easystore drive...

Could be.  If you put the drive in a USB3 port, try a USB2 port.

This solved the issue. It's now showing as Dev 1 (sdb). No more errors and works with the docker container.

 

I have another question about an NVMe drive that is not showing up in atop. Goal is to watch I/O and get stats. It's running on an PCIe adapter. Drive works fine. Shows in the unraid GUI. Any thoughts why it's not showing in atop?
