Mrpictureman Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I thought a 3 TB disk went bad so I just replaced it with a bigger drive and parity ran everything ran well. I then realized that the disk that went bad was unplugged. I went ahead and added it to the array and it did an auto clear disk. Once finished it became unmountable no file system. How do I fix that. If there is any data on that disk I do not need it as I believe it was cleared off when it was added to the array. I don't mind posting the diagnostics but need to know which file in the diagnostics I need to post and how? The log seems pretty long if that's it? Isn't there an easy way just to reformat that drive and add it back to the array or something similar? Quote Link to comment

itimpi Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Wait for @JorgeB to confirm but it sounds from your description like you just need to select the option to format the disk on the Main tab as the clear (which zeroes the disk) would wipe any existing format. Quote Link to comment

itimpi Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Yes - on that there is a format button that is enabled when you tick the associated check box. Quote Link to comment
Mrpictureman Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 I don't see it anywhere? I have used it in the past but don't see it in the 2 screen shots above? Can you pinpoint it? Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 It is the button that is currently greyed out on the last screen shot waiting for the checkbox to be ticked to enable it. Quote Link to comment
