HELP !!Upgrade to 4.7 from 4.5.4 made 2 TB Drive "unformatted: now what do i do?

Featured Replies

Yikes. Followed the instructions to upgrade to 4.7 from 4.5.4 (re install 3 files to key) restart.

insidted on rebuilding drive, only now its done and there IS NO DATA on the drive (and i have no backup)

I cant begin to tell you how frustrating this is.... and i post this in desperation.

disk12 WDC_WD20EARS-00M_WD-WCAZA7173868 32°C 1,953,514,552 Unformatted 8,851 5,538,736

 

When i first restarted the array, thois drive showed RED but was rebuilding and seemed to indicate it was half full into the rebuild process. But when done - UNFORMATTED.

 

Is there anything i can do, this is a real nightmare here as much important data is on that drive

(it was turned into a 2 TB drive not long ago from a 1TB)

did you try stopping and then restarting the array?

if i recall, there is a minor bug  with it showing unformatted when it is.

I ran a Rieserfs Chk and got the following:

Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/md12

Will put log info to 'stdout'

 

Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you do):Yes

So now what? Any suggestions?

I don't believe unRAID would ever automatically begin to rebuild a drive.

 

So, can you explain exactly what steps you took to get where you are now?

The restart was the key, also set the correct format mode in settings on 4.7 - power down and restart and all is well.

 

THANKYOU ALL and long live unraid
