July 7, 20242 yr Hi, today I got a unmountable disk (unmountable: unsupported of no file system) in my array of 4 disks. Followed this https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/storage-management/#drive-shows-as-unmountable but nothing better after restarting the array in normal mode... Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks.

July 7, 20242 yr Author Find attached a text file the output of the check process. 3 hours ago, itimpi said: Did you keep the output of the check/repair process? That might give a clue as to what happened. Check.txt
July 7, 20242 yr Community Expert Did you actually run a repair (I.e. without -n). That output looks like a repair should be successful, but you indicated it was still not mounting.

Repair (I.e. without -n) gives me the following : Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... Phase 2 - using internal log - zero log... ERROR: The filesystem has valuable metadata changes in a log which needs to be replayed. Mount the filesystem to replay the log, and unmount it before re-running xfs_repair. If you are unable to mount the filesystem, then use the -L option to destroy the log and attempt a repair. Note that destroying the log may cause corruption -- please attempt a mount of the filesystem before doing this. Did not try the -L option Edited July 7, 20242 yr by frankie666

If you get that you need to run with -L (and without -n) to get the repair done.

According to the output of the check -L, do you think it is fully repaired or should I do or check something else ? Thanks & best Check -L.txt Edited July 7, 20242 yr by frankie666

Look to see if there is a lost+found folder on the drive. That is where the repair process would put any file/folder (with a cryptic numeric name) for which it could not find the directory entry to give the correct name. Not having that folder is a good sign.

Not having that folder is a good sign. Nothing like that on the drive... Hopefully my problem is solved, fingers crossed. Thanks a lot for your help.
