January 21, 20251 yr Hi guys, Has anybody experienced this mounting a bunch of 3TB hard drives outside the array? I'm not sure what I did. originally, I was going to put them in a pool but realized it wouldn't let me mount them as separate drives in it, so I deleted the pool and then mounted each individually under the "Unassigned Disk Drives" section. I don't know why one drive has the unmount button while the rest has pool, so maybe I stumbled upon a bug. Anyway to fix this? My docker applications are reporting each hard drive to be 20TB each which is scary. Edited January 21, 20251 yr by Velazquez
January 21, 20251 yr Community Expert the 3 TB was in a raid of some sort and its reading the raid mdadm data. as you are in the unasigneed disk plugin... You should mouint all 3TB disk to rebuild the array and pull the data...

I already have a separate array running and a few pools/SSDs for specific things. These 3TB HDs I intend to use individually for testing/working with certain stuff, so they won't be in an array. I tried looking for anything that would give me a formatting option so I can start over with these hard drives, but can't seem to find it. Tried with array off and in maintenance mode to see if the menu options would change, nothing.

It allowed me to clear only 1 of the disk, the one with mount button. It does not give me the same partition clearing option for the other hard drives. I can confirm after clearing the partition on the one, the size is properly reported again. This seems like I might have to go through some CLI tools potentially? It's the hard drives with the pool marking on them that are what is left
January 21, 20251 yr Community Expert Solution Try rebooting, and it may allow you to clear the other ones, if not, you can use wipefs -a /dev/sdX

That was a wild bug, I think since my other applications were reading the same space issue, there's no telling what would of happen after I went past 3TB of data on my apps.
