Sabot Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Good day all, I am having a brain freeze and reading the forum is only adding to the fog! I have a small 4TB that I pre-cleared and it finished with no errors. I want to be able to mount it in the Unassigned Devices. The mount button is greyed out and my only option is to pre-clear again. What am I missing? 2022-09-04_11-10-54.snagx unraid-diagnostics-20220904-1133.zip Edited September 4, 2022 by Sabot Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 A pre-cleared disk has no file system. It needs to be partitioned and formatted before it can be mounted. Quote Link to comment
Sabot Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Thank you for your quick response, how do I go about formatting the disk? 2022-09-04_11-35-24.snagx Edited September 4, 2022 by Sabot Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 You can do it in using UD, but you have to enable destructive mode in the plugin’s settings to be offered this option. Quote Link to comment
Sabot Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) I enabled and I get a new red X (Clear Disk). When I click on it, it gives me a pop up window. See attached. Edited September 4, 2022 by Sabot Quote Link to comment
Solution dlandon Posted September 4, 2022 Solution Share Posted September 4, 2022 UD Preclear writes a disk signature and partition so that the disk is ready for Unraid. To format it for UD, you will need to clear the disk as you have shown above. You can then format the disk with UD. 1 Quote Link to comment
