Array disk marked unmountable after unclean shutdown

Featured Replies

I have 3 14tb drives used to create an array. There was a power outage recently and now upon booting I see one disk is marked "Unmountable: Unsupported partition layout".

 

Regarding the array health:

Since this disk was originally part of the array shouldn't I expect to see an error somewhere? All of my data appears to still be available - since this drive was added the the array last is it possible it's unused? Parity check ran without issue (09-28-2023).


Regarding the disk itself:

Ran SMART short test which returned no errors (will update once extended test completes). Any suggestions for how to diagnose what has happened to it?

Unsupported partition layout means the MBR was changed/damaged, if parity is valid you should be able to recover the data by rebuilding the disk, since Unraid will recreate the correct partition layout, to test you can unassign that disk, start the array and post the diagnostics.

Thanks! Diagnostics attached. If the array starts what might you look for in the diagnostics?

 

If all good I presumably format the disk and then add it to the array?

There's no valid filesystem on that disk, are you sure that disk was ever formatted?

 

Post the output of

fdisk -l /dev/sde

That disk was never formatted in the array, there's no Unraid data there.
