Can't add drive that says it is precleared to array


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I have been trying to add a Toshiba drive I have to my array since I first got Unraid and I am having no luck. I have don the preclear and that went fine. The system says "The drive is precleared" but when I try to add it in as my last disk it tries and then I am face with a blank space between my first and second drive and the one that I am trying to add isn't added (I know weird right) and is still listed under unassigned.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on this and how to fix it or add it to the array? Thanks for any help. I am very new to Unraid.

You are likely to get better informed feedback if you attach your system’s diagnostics zip file to your next post in this thread after you have attempted to add it and failed.

 

just a thought - do you have an ad-blocker installed in your browser?  This can cause problems with the Unraid GUI unless the Unraid server is where-listed, but I must admit I have not heard of it causing the symptoms you describe.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't know about the diagnostics file but will submit it. Thanks for the help. Right now it is going through a parity check after failing at what I listed with the hard drive so I hope it has the info you need. Thanks again.

 

Oh and this happens with the GUI when I have a monitor attached to Unraid and from another computer through the web browser. I don't think there are any ad blockers on the computer that has my unraid.

Just to make sure there is no misunderstanding.

 

When you say "add" you mean you are trying to put a disk in a data slot that didn't have a disk in it before?

 

Or do you really mean you are trying to replace a disk?

drive I was trying to add from before now says mount not preclear

If it is mountable it is not clear. Did you perhaps format it? A formatted disk (empty filesystem) isn't a clear disk.

Ok so I am just trying to add a physical drive that is already in my system to the list of drives that are part of my array. Currently I am at 7 disks the system shows and I am trying to put this one in slot 8 which is empty but then what I described at the beginning is what happens when I do that.

 

Also once I rebooted my Unraid and it loaded the drive that I was having this whole issue with is now showing mount and no longer preclear like it did before so I wasn't sure why that happened exactly and it was something I just figured I should point out to try and help matters along.

 

Let me know if you need anything else, the system restarted the parity check, which I know you said I can't add the new drive while that is going on. It says it will take 2 days for the parity check to finish so I can't attempt to add the drive again until then I assume based on what you told me.

 

Thank you for the help.

Hey, thanks for letting me know I will try that. Well I enabled the destructive mode because I have both Unassigned Devices and UD+ installed but I can't find a way to delete the partition.

 

Is the only way to try and add it to the array? If so my array is still going through a parity check and I can't do it then.

 

Thanks for the help again.

Locate the drive in the UD section of the webUI and you'll see a little + sign (assuming that "show partitions" is set to "No"). Click the + sign and you'll see the partitions with a red X next to them. Clicking the X will delete the partition. IIRC you don't need to re-format the drive if you intend to add it to the array. unRAID will clear and format it for you.

 

There is a great video for working with UD- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz4-YlH1lTk&t=204s 

Hopefully this link will take you directly to the proper section of the video. If not, the whole video will probably be useful for you.

Thanks for the reply and the link to the video. I did see what you said and clicked the red X and now it says format instead of mount (greyed out). My array still hasn't completed it's parity check yet so once that finishes I will try to add it again.

 

Thank you for all the help.

I apologize I thought you might want that but wasn't sure but here it is.
