(Resolved)unraid not utilizing drives


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm very new to unraid, so please bear with me.  I have installed both versions 4.7 and 5.14 on my supermicro X6DHE-XB 3U Storage Server SATA 16GB 64bits 2x 3Ware 9500S-8.  When I boot up, I can see my three new hard drives.  all 2TB, 1Hitachi, 2 Seagate. Unraid boots up, I see them in the pre script. They also light up as far as the led in the array.  However when I open up my Tower window in Firefox, they are color coded grey.  When I try to preclear, I'm notified that I can't because they are mounted. When I try to test them I can't. I have re installed unraid several times, several versions.  I get the same results.  I'm trying to find out what I'm doing wrong.

are they truly mounted?

 

try going into linux and typing:

 

df

 

this should display all mounted drives

 

you should be able to unmount them using the 'umount' command

 

good luck,

steve

You must un-assign the drives if you are going to pre-clear them.

They must not be in use, or mounted.
