Unraid 6 - Tried to add new drives to existing RAID-0 btrfs pool, made a mess of it.

Featured Replies

Like the title says, I have two new SSD drives and I want to add these to an existing RAID-0 btrfs pool that already contained two other SSD. All of these drives are 1TB SSD.

 

While trying to find a free hdd slot in my server I disconnected the two existing SSD from the pool, plus other HDD from the main array. I connected all  back again in the same slot and I found two free slots to insert my two new SSDs.

 

At this point, all drives that I disconnected and the ones I added were in the unmounted section. I stopped the array, I changed the pool number of disks from 2 to 4, added the two new SSDs in that pool and I started the array back.

 

Now the "fun" happens, one of my HDD from the array was emulated and currently while I'm writing this, the rebuild process is taking care of that issue.

 

But the main issue that I don't know how to solve is that ALL my 4 SSDs from the pool have the "Unmountable: Unsupported or no file system" message:

There's also the option of formatting these Unmountable drives, which I DID NOT click:

I'm assuming the normal behaviour would be just for the two new drives to appear in this list and just only then I could format using this option.

 

----

 

In short now I'm stuck, I cannot go back from 4 to 2 drives in the pool like I used to have in a way to recover my data, nor I know how to proceeed to resolve this issue. 

 

I've attached the diagnostiscs file, keep in mind that I have a current rebuild running for one of the HDD drives in the array that I disconnected by mistake.

Re-import the pool with just these two devices, to do that,

 

stop the array

unassign all pool devices

start the array

stop the array

reassign only those two devices

start the array, post new diags.

Attaching the logs, same behaviour.

I rebooted the server and everything is now working fine. 😅
