Added two disks but one not showing up...

[bokenrosie]

Does this mean the drive is bad?  Neither of them would show up in preclear as disks that could be cleared.

 

Thanks for your help

there is no filesystem on that drive, shut down the array and format it via Terminal to xfs. That should do the Trick.

Change the Sata Cable, they tend to pruduce alot of wonky behaviour.

No, if you need to format a new disk you do it on the Array Operation page.

 

Don't do anything without further advice.

Thanks for the replies.  I was unable to find the syntax for terminal format of xfs but I did find that the drive was a dud.

 

Replaced it and new drive showed up in "unassigned devices"  I  then went to tools >disk utilities > Preclear and it seems to be doing its thing just fine.

 

I appreciate the help.

You didn't want to do that anyway
