Hello.

I am a linux sysadmin with "some" experience. I wanted to free my personal life of "work" and wanted to try UnRAID as I have to replace old dying hardware.

 

After 2½ hours of trying tu use a state-o-the-art usb flash, I ended up using a very cheap USB2 flash.

 

Now, I have setup my largest drive as parity. The added another 2 drives. Parity is taking forever : normal I own large drives. But, I am told I can format my array and will suffer a little performance drop. Which I wanted to try -> with xfs first and btrfs now.

There is no way for me to format the drives : I always end up with Unmountable Unsupported or no filesystem.

 

I am trying UnRAID as I read "I should have done that years ago" but I am feeling a little aggravated by its "too-simpleness".

 

Can I be pointed in the right direction please ? I am more than willing to jump into CLI and do things the way my 6 figure linux sysops income tells me how to...

 

Best regards.

Thank you for posting the diag will take a lok soon to see other disk log error...
Quick glance at post ... you may need to wipe the disk in another os or in unraid and let the unraid web ui format the disk.

stop the array and go into maintenance mode. Unriad docs:

https://docs.unraid.net/legacy/FAQ/check-disk-filesystems/#:~:text=run xfs_repair-,Start the array in Maintenance mode%2C by clicking the Maintenance,mount any of the drives.

 

https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/storage-management/

as it looks like your preformatted the disk else where.

 

This issue can arise in Unraid when adding a new disk, especially if the disk isn’t pre-cleared, formatted correctly, or if there's a mismatch in expected filesystem types. Here’s a troubleshooting checklist:

1. Verify Disk Format and Status in Unraid:

Go to Main -> Array Devices and check the status of the added disk.

If the disk status shows “Unmountable: Unsupported or no file system,” it might need to be formatted or partitioned correctly.

2. Formatting the Disk:

If the disk has not been formatted, Unraid should offer an option to format it under Array Operation. Select the disk and format it as XFS or Btrfs based on your requirements.

Warning: Formatting the disk will erase any data on it.

3. Reboot Unraid Server (if needed):

Sometimes, a reboot can help Unraid recognize the filesystem correctly. After the reboot, check if the disk mounts properly.

4. Check for Disk Errors:

Go to Tools -> Diagnostics and generate a report to check if there are any issues with the disk hardware or connection.

5. If You Intend to Use Btrfs, Ensure Compatibility:

If you specifically need Btrfs, ensure the disk has been formatted using the Btrfs filesystem.

Tools -> File System Check: Run a Btrfs filesystem check to identify and correct any minor filesystem issues.

6. Clear and Re-Add Disk if Needed:

If the issue persists, try removing the disk from the array, pre-clearing it, and re-adding it. Sometimes starting with a blank disk can help with compatibility issues.

If all else fails, posting diagnostics on the Unraid forums can provide more insight into the error message specifics and help from other users.

Per your Diag it loks like your parity disk is the colpurit.

My recommendation is to go to tools new config. keep pool device and put sde as disk 1 sdc as disk 2 and sdd as parity
click parity and make sure fs is set to auto

and format if asked and let the parity check finish stop all dockers, vms, lxc if any and let parity finish first before the use of any other service...
