Disk not appearing in unassigned devices

[fuzzaldrin]

I have a HDD docking station I have previously used to add disks to unassigned devices and then run a preclear, I have done this twice successfully in the past. I'm now in need of an additional disk for the array so I put the disk in the docking station but unassigned devices will not show the disk.

I can see the device listed in the logs but beyond that nothing happens. I have stopped the array and restarted the server but that hasn't made a difference.

Running version 6.9.1 of Unraid

Latest version of UA (2022.10.12)

 

Any thoughts?

There's considerable log spam but not seeing any extra disk being detected, only a USB device, but that could be the USB bridge, try using a different disk to see if there's any difference.

I'm fairly certain those log entries about the USB mass storage device are the docking station. Additionally, I have connected the disk in that dock to my Windows machine and it detects it, I can write to it etc.

 

I'll try a different disk now.

Just tried a different NTFS formatted disk in the dock and that's not appearing either.

Strange, cannot see a reason for the dock not working, especially if it worked before, though would never recommend adding an array device using USB.

Yea it's really strange. What I've done previously is preclear the disk using this method and then when it comes to swap out a disk it goes into a SATA port and into the array, rebuild etc.

Linux is not detecting any Unassigned Devices.  Is the disk showing in your BIOS?
