Installed windows on unassigned drive, cache no longer mounts


Go to solution Solved by itimpi,

System has following drives:
- 3x4TB HDDs (array)

- 500GB SSD (cache, sdb)

- 512GB unassigned nvme m.2

 

Installed Windows 11 directly onto the nvme and all looked fine. While in windows, the other drives weren't even listed in the 'My Computer' section, but I disabled SATA controller just in case.

 

Now when I booted back into Unraid, the cache drive no longer mounts:

1477:Jul 26 15:58:52 srvr emhttpd: shcmd (42): mount -t xfs -o noatime,nouuid /dev/sdb1 /mnt/cache
1479:Jul 26 15:58:52 srvr kernel: XFS (sdb1): Mounting V5 Filesystem
1581:Jul 26 15:58:54 srvr root: mount: /mnt/cache: can't read superblock on /dev/sdb1.

What gives? Is it just a coincidence or windows managed to write something on that drive?

That drive is having issues:

Check your cables and interface.

I believe that is a red herring. The cache drive has been showing those errors for over a year now. Have tried changing the cables to no avail. It's not a show-stopper of an error so I've just learnt to live with it. Including diagnostics from ~ year ago when cache mounted just fine:

This IS a showstopper as if the superblock cannot be read then the drive cannot be mounted.

  

Yes, agreed. My point was - could the Windows installation in this dual-boot setup have caused it, or it's just a coincidence and I'm really looking at another drive failure here? The timing is just too close for a coincidence, in my experience.

Do not see how as the error message suggests a physical failure to read the superblock.

 

The earlier messages are what we normally see when there is an issue with the SATA or power cabling to the drive.

Hence my question regarding installing Windows onto the unassigned m2 drive.

Yup, which I tried to solve some few years back with no luck, and decided to just turn a blind eye on.
