Format Drive in ext4 with unassigned devices plus

[Pascal51882]

Hi 

i am searching for a way to format a drive in ext4 in Unraid.

I need ext4, because the drive needs to read/write/change a lot of very small files. XFS performs really bad with 7TB data on it.

I did not find options in the GUI for this. Only other filesystems are available. (NTFS worked a little bit bettter, but I would say that is no good option für linux.)

 

I tried it manual over the command line but I still can only chose format in unassigned devices.

I am not sure if my commands are right:

Quote

parted /dev/sdh "mklabel gpt"

cfdisk /dev/sdh

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdh

 

Thank you very much for your help!

Found the solution! You can just mount it into a VM an format it there (Lubuntu in my case).

Just worked and is mountable
