Jobine Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Hi, I just tried to add the sdj to my array. It was written "Unmountable". I remove it from of the array. In Unassigned Devices, I can't mount or format the disk I have attached the diagnostic file.

JorgeB Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Unless I missed it not seeing any attempt to format the disk in the array, after adding a new disk you need to format it, next to array start/stop button. Quote Link to comment
Jobine Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 In Unassigned devices I was able to mount the disk and format it to xfs (after 10min...) I added it to my array Data-rebuild is in progress... but in the array devices, still "Unmountable: Wrong or no file sysem" (sysem or system ?) Thank, Quote Link to comment

Thank, Are you sure that Unraid is not ‘clearing’ the disk? Rebuilding normally only applies when replacing a failed drive. However, depending exactly on what you did it is possible you have managed to get it into a state where unraid is ‘rebuilding’ a disk containing all zeroes. Normally when you add a new disk to the array Unraid will Clear it by writing zeroes to every sector on the disk so that parity remains valid (which wipes any existing format). If the drive has been pre-cleared (but NOT formatted) then this clear phase is skipped). When that completes you then need to format the drive to create an empty file system so that it can be used.

Jobine Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 I added the hard drive to the array Unraid clearing the disk I received the message "Unmountable", because the file system type was on "auto" I changed the file system type was to "xfs" Remove the disk from the array I did not get a message to format the hard drive In unassigned devices, Mount appeared and I was able to format it to xfs. I added the hard drive to the array... I went there There's the new diagnotics file. Thank, serveur-diagnostics-20220527-1049.zip Quote Link to comment

The procedure for adding disks to an array is documented here in the online documentations accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the GUI. Quote Link to comment
Jobine Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 I have a parity drive I did exactly 1 to 6. 7- Unraid has pre-cleared my hard drive but it didn't seem to have been formatted 8- ok 9-10-11 ... to be continued but now, Unraid rebuild the drive. 88,8% Quote Link to comment
