Nicodem Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I have two NTFS drives with files backup, both are 12TB, same hardware and formatted in same way (my assumption, I do not really remember..) under Windows 11. One of them is visible in Unraid, second - no, only FORMAT option visible in unassigned devices. How I can mount it? Need to copy large amount of data and I do not have in this network Windows machine that can see this and copy via network. Wanted to copy via USB enclosure. How I can mount it? Tried with two different UNRAID based systems - all can see other disk, this one is not visible. Windows 11 open this flawlessly. Quote Link to comment
ChatNoir Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Mounting drives outside of the Array and Pools is handled by the Unassigned Devices plugin. You should look for assistance on it's support thread : https://forums.unraid.net/topic/92462-unassigned-devices-managing-disk-drives-and-remote-shares-outside-of-the-unraid-array/#comments Quote Link to comment
Nicodem Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 Tried there - no answer. How I can install NTFS-3G directly on Unraid, without use of unassigned devices? Unassigned do not see this drive which is 100% usable under Windows. Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 It's missing the NTFS type signature, that's why UD doesn't recognize the file system and there's no mount option, you can see if it mounts manually by specifying the fs: mkdir /x mount -t ntfs /dev/sdf1 /x Quote Link to comment
Nicodem Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 No, it does not mount. Any way to add this signature (dont know why windows didnt done it...) WITHOUT loosing data? Quote Link to comment

Nicodem Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 stupid windows thing... So I have to now mount it to some windows machine and copy over LAN. Can do but its way more complicated and slower in my case then just copy from USB directly. Thanks for help. F U Microsoft.. Quote Link to comment

Mount reported: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). The file system wasn't safely closed on Windows. Fixing. ntfs-3g-mount: failed to access mountpoint /x: No such file or directory This worked (\x): mount -t ntfs /dev/sdh \x Now I can enter cd \x and run ls to see the contents at the command line. I found 'X' in \root, just need a nice dual window file manager now to make movements easy. Edited August 16, 2023 by Knights21 Quote Link to comment
