May 21, 20242 yr So i have a little problem with connecting my external HDDs. If i connect 1 of them it is recognized as SDC https://imgur.com/lxLe2Oc As soon as i connect the second one SDC vanishes and SDE shows up. https://imgur.com/RQd9mn6 fdisk -l lists them just fine: Disk /dev/sdc: 7.28 TiB, 8001563222016 bytes, 15628053168 sectors Disk model: U3 Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk /dev/sde: 7.28 TiB, 8001563222016 bytes, 15628053168 sectors Disk model: U3 Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes however their serial number show up as beeing identical: udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/sdc | grep ID_SERIAL E: ID_SERIAL=IB-1122-_U3_0000000048E5-0:0 E: ID_SERIAL_SHORT=0000000048E5 udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/sde | grep ID_SERIAL E: ID_SERIAL=IB-1122-_U3_0000000048E5-0:0 E: ID_SERIAL_SHORT=0000000048E5 inside unraid they SDC shows this: https://imgur.com/3rB7e7H inside unraid they SDE shows this: https://imgur.com/ZGhnQr7 Both are connected via USB with this thingy: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B085LTKD2S?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details going from the description name `IB-1122-U3` it seems like linux recognizes the adapter as the HDD, while unraid itself manages to differentiate the HDD, but cant get them mounted correctly. is there any way to get this fixed?
May 21, 20242 yr Community Expert Should be OK to use them one at a time as Unassigned Devices. USB not recommended for assigned disks for many reasons.
May 21, 20242 yr Author nope, both at a time wont show up as unassigned drives. as soon as both are connected i get this in the log and SDC is replaced with SDE. emhttpd: device /dev/sdc problem getting id anyhow. my setup i'm using only has 1 sata and 1 nvme slot, which both are used for my cache. so the only option is to use external USB-drives or SATA drives with adapters.
