New drive blinking red


Recommended Posts

I just added a new drive and it just got done formatting and its flashing red. When I click on it, it says (unknown) under file system type. Whats the deal here, junk hdd?

We don't know.  You did not post a system log.

 

What you reported is exactly the same as me saying "I could not drive my car to New York.  What part do I need to buy?"

 

We don't know the version of unRAID, or if there is parity installed, or if you formatted it using the unRAID button, or by yourself using a command line tool or some other utility.

 

Post a system log.  Instructions on how are in the stickies at the top of this forum.

Sorry guys Newbie here. will do

 

I see nothing abnormal in the system log.

 

What drive did you just add?

Flashing usually indicates the drive is sleeping.

 

I see 4 disks, parity  and 3 data drives.

The three disks each seem to have a file-system:

Jul 28 09:45:40 Jesse kernel: REISERFS (device md3): found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal

Jul 28 09:45:40 Jesse kernel: REISERFS (device md2): found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal

Jul 28 09:45:40 Jesse kernel: REISERFS (device md1): found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal

 

sorry, but nothing looks odd to me.

disk 3 is blinking red. the others are green. i just added sde (e drive i guess). When I click on it (disk 3), under disk 3 settings it says "file system type (unknown)". Where as the others say "reiserfs"

Your release of unRAID is pretty old and it does not log the attempt to mount the drive.

 

Try these commands (with the array started):

mkdir -p /mnt/disk3

 

mount -t reiserfs /dev/md3 /mnt/disk3

 

Let's see what it says...
