June 3, 20224 yr I recently upgrade 2 3TB drives to 6TB I replace 1 drive at a time and let it rebuild each time (~10hrs) each After that pool was up and running I tried to install the two old drives so that I could create a new pool for IP_camera storage. The old drives would not show up in Unraid even after reboot. I hooked the drives up to a windows machine and the drives were detected it showed up 3 times in disk manager example (Disk 3, Disk 3, Disk 3) I ran Seagate's Drive tools to check the health of the drive and everything came back good. Any thoughts? These are old drives from 2014 so they might have just crapped out.
June 3, 20224 yr Author It looks like the issue was the top bay some of the STAT tables were not clipped in and i guess didn't make proper connection. The drives are showing up now. I just need to clear them.
June 3, 20224 yr Author Solution Ok, I'm up and running just like I wanted too. I had to open terminal and rebuild the partition tables on each drive. Open Terminal parted /dev/sd? sd? = the drive your targetting like sdh or sdg select /dev/sd? make sure drive is selected mklabel gpt y = to confirm That made the drives available for preclear. One other note, In order to have drives slots show up under the new pool you need to change the pool size of your main array so instead of 22 -> 12 This allowed me add the 2 new/old drives to the newly created pool.
