unRAID Server Release 5.0-beta9 Available


Recommended Posts

Just added a new cache drive..out of the box new and it added fine but shows unformated..I tried to use the format in the webgui and it shows started formatting but nothing at all happens the drive just shows as unformatted still..tried a few times now. Is there an issue formatting with beta 9?

 

This is an EARS drive without jumpers...I have 4 other EARS drives in the array with jumpers. Not sure if that is important or not

 

All attempts to format failed because it could not find a partition to format, no partition table.  There was only one attempt to write an MBR with partition table, but it failed with "mkmbr: ioctl BLKRRPART: Device or resource busy", no further indication evident as to why it was 'busy'.  Try shutting down, powering off completely, and restart.  If still unsuccessful, you should Obtain a SMART report.  If further help is needed, we would prefer that you start a separate support thread.

 

In the future, please take pity on those of us that examine syslogs, and follow the directions here (Capturing your syslog).  We much much prefer the raw text version, to your PDF version, with about half the lines wrapped and constant pagination breaks, much harder to analyze.

According to these lines in the syslog, your disk has stopped responding or has not been partitioned.  

(In other words, the disk partition /dev/sdb1 does not exist, or if it does, it cannot be read.)

What do you get when you type:

fdisk -l /dev/sdb

 

can you still communicate with the drive?  (can you gt a smart report)

smartctl -a /dev/sdb

 

If the disk has not been partitioned, and it is responding, it is possible you uncovered a bug in that 5.0beta10 might not be partitioning it before attempting to create a file system on the partition.    If it has stopped responding, you might just have a loose connector, or a disk that had a very short life.

The .pdf was so much harder to search for clues I missed the mkmbr command entirely.  Obviously, unRAID attempted to make the partition.

I'm at work now but I will run those commands and post them later today. It seems to me that the drive is not partitioned I have unassigned it and added it to the array to test and it does go to the blue dot and again still will not format...Like I said I'll do the commands suggested about tonight and post results
