And as you can see from the screenshot, it is rebuilding an unmountable filesystem. Probably because xfs is the wrong filesystem. But maybe, it is actually rebuilding the original reiserfs and only thinks it is unmountable because it is trying to mount it as xfs. ? ? ? You have taken things far away from where they should be, not sure I know what to do now. Hopefully we can still get something from the original disks. DO NOT do anything at all with the original disks! Don't do anything else except what we tell you to do. If you don't understand, ask for further explanation.
January 31, 20242 yr Author I told before I cannot put the old disk 4 back. I already try to do that but before that the array already started with the new disk. Quote click on disk4, change fs to reiser and post new diags after array start. That was the question but I cannot select reiserfs

I agree 30 minutes ago, trurl said: DO NOT do anything at all with the original disks! I guess we will wait for rebuild to complete, and see if we can figure out how to tell it to use reiserfs instead of xfs to mount the rebuilt disk.
January 31, 20242 yr Author If there are no options to restore the old disk's. Then I can download the free version of unraid en mount te old disk I can take the data off and copy it back?
January 31, 20242 yr Author Can you explain why on disk 5 is 55,8GB used. It's a new disk and I format it and put nothing on, also if I check there is nothing. Thanks for al your help Rob

But don't do anything with them yet.

February 1, 20242 yr Author I'm a couple days out of the country and it's still rebuilding and need 12 hours to finish. I'll be back.
February 6, 20242 yr Author The rebuild has finished and the drive is unmountable unsupported or no file system.

February 6, 20242 yr Community Expert Looks fine, as mentioned before you cannot change to a different filesystem for a rebuild, it won't work, parity is not filesystem aware, it will rebuild the filesystem as it was.
February 6, 20242 yr Author Ok understand now. Is it better to convert to XFS later? How can I get my data from the old disk 4 and disk 5 back to the array?

Then Dynamix File Manager plugin will let you work with files and folders directly on your server, including all mounted disks, assigned or unassigned.

February 6, 20242 yr Author I cannot mount the old disk, the only option is format. I use the disk in a sharkoon sata to usb device. 14 minutes ago, JorgeB said: Old disk4 should have the same data as current disk4. Remeber that when rebuild disk 4 the old disk 5 was replaced with a new one and I format it so there was no data. Edited February 6, 20242 yr by Rob_Dingen

February 6, 20242 yr Author I tried but don't know how to do it if I put reiserfsck -v /dev/mdh I only get the options list
February 6, 20242 yr Community Expert mdh is not an unassigned device. In fact it isn't any device. Is it sdh? If so, you would need to also specify the partition, so it would be /dev/sdh1
