September 4, 20223 yr 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, 20223 yr by Sabot
September 4, 20223 yr Community Expert A pre-cleared disk has no file system. It needs to be partitioned and formatted before it can be mounted.
September 4, 20223 yr Author Thank you for your quick response, how do I go about formatting the disk? 2022-09-04_11-35-24.snagx Edited September 4, 20223 yr by Sabot
September 4, 20223 yr Community Expert You can do it in using UD, but you have to enable destructive mode in the plugin’s settings to be offered this option.
September 4, 20223 yr Author 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, 20223 yr by Sabot
September 4, 20223 yr Solution 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.
