You can also do that, but add an end slash to the source path or it will create a folder called old-disk-12 on destination:

 

rsync -av /mnt/disks/old-disk-12/ /mnt/disk12

 

Thanks for confirming that will work. And woops, thanks for pointing that out. That was more of a pseudo command as I am actually doing it per folder on old-disk-12 but this will be useful for someone else if they are trying to do the same things.

...formatting is never part of a rebuild...

 

To be fair, "unsupported partition layout" is never supposed to be a part of a rebuild either unless you happened to have been unfortunate enough to be replacing or upgrading a drive during the brief life of version 6.11.2.  After the 12-hour array rebuild completed for me but before I discovered this was bug country, I also formatted a new drive and lost a couple of days worth of data.  I am glad this was quickly resolved.

It's not, but formatting will never help.

Had this issue since yesterday adding a new 6tb drive to my array and nothing would get rid of the unsupported partition message, until I found this thread.

Did an update check, which showed the newer 6.11.3, after updating I started the array and re-tried formatting and voila disk is now working as intended, many thanks.

I've been dealing with this issue for over a week now. I've precleared my 3 disks 4 times. That is the definition of insanity.

Literally pulling what's left of my hair out as to why I get kept getting the unsupported partition layout msg. Limetech should post something on their website about this bug even though it's fixed now. A lot of people don't like to upgrade and fix what's broke. I am glad I found this thread. I just wish i found it last Wed.

What version of Unraid ?

If it's 6.11.2, the version has a bug that prevents formats and you should update to latest.

It's a bug with the latest release, for now suggest downgrading to v6.11.1 to format the disks, you can then upgrade back if you want.

Is this going to be fixed in the next version?

It was fixed in the 6.11.3 release (the current release is 6.11.5).

This information took way too long to find online. Every other post, with every other action was followed, which I have to say was infuriating. Finally found this and scaled back to v6.11.1. I purchased UNRAID in November last year so I guess I got unlucky with the version I got saddled with. Fresh to UNRAID so this was a f***** tbh, just wanted to get a new build going. Gave up after a week back then, only to try again over the last couple of days. Jfc I thought I was going insane. Spent countless days clearing disks for this, following outdated advice etc etc. Has made me feel hesitant to go with more recent releases. Anyway... what a daggy way to bring in the new year lol. Hopefully this is about as frustrating as it gets for UNRAID yeah?
