August 11, 201114 yr 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.
August 11, 201114 yr 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.) Aug 10 21:47:45 NAS emhttp: shcmd (441): set -o pipefail ; mkreiserfs -q /dev/sdb1 |& logger Aug 10 21:47:45 NAS logger: mkreiserfs 3.6.21 (2009 www.namesys.com) Aug 10 21:47:45 NAS logger: Aug 10 21:47:45 NAS logger: Stat of the device '/dev/sdb1' failed. 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. Joe L.
August 11, 201114 yr 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

August 12, 201114 yr I went ahead and rebooted again and tried formatting again and it seemed to work fine...I'm thinking the fdisk command above did something to fix it?? never had any issues adding drives on 4.7
August 12, 201114 yr the fdisk did nothing. It should have been run on /dev/sdb not dev/sdb (I had it mis-typed in my example to you) Joe L.
August 23, 201114 yr I am transitioning from 1TB drives to 2TB. I was copying folders of files (about 700GB worth) from a 1TB drive to a 2TB drive with MC. The array was started but without parity. I got a Kernel Bug, see attached syslog. Anybody got any ideas? :'( OBTW, I excised large sections of dupe-file errors from the syslog. OBTW2, running on ESXi. syslog-2011-08-23.zip
