Hello all,

 

I just swapped my 2tb HDD with an 8tb HDD by after booting and trying to get my array up, I cannot assign the new disk to the old slot.

The new HDD doesn't show up at all on my Main page...

So I don't know what is going wrong.

 

This is the third drive I've replaced so I am familiar with the operation, and everything went well until replacing this disk.

I have attached my diagnostics, so that you can help me out.

I myself cannot find anything that is going wrong, except these two lines in my system log:

 

Nov 22 14:28:00 Rik-Tower kernel: mdcmd (9): import 8
Nov 22 14:28:00 Rik-Tower kernel: md: import_slot: 8 missing

 

I've tested the disk here on windows, not any problem, even a copy paste on the disk works and it genuine spins up and down...
Shows the correct size et cetera, all on my Windows PC.

 

Hope you guys can help me out.
Kind regards,

 

Rik

Are you sure the drive doesn't need the 3.3V pin mod? Is it showing up in the BIOS of the Unraid machine?

No I am not sure, it is not showing up in the BIOS because I have it connected to the SATA card, Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8

All the disks connected to the Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 don't show up in the BIOS at all.

But I've bought two of these disks and (shucked) them out of there cases, and the first one is working right out of the box, so why this one not??

 

Edit: And how am I going to check if this drive needs the mod??

See edit

Sorry for my double post, but I applied the 3.3v mod via YouTube and it now shows up in the array. 

Thanks @JonathanM for solving this one so fast!
