Upgraded to 7.1.2 and Two of My Drives Unmountable [Solved]

Featured Replies

Hello, I just upgrade my unraid twice, first from 7.0.0 to 7.10, reboot and success but I set my array to not automatically start but all the disks is recognizeable, so I continue to updated it to 7.12 version, after I reboot , 2 of my disks read wrong disks, I cannot start the array, So I setup new config, with all the same drive and start the array, Then 2 drives unmountable. As can be seen in the pictures both drives are the same as before.
The diagnostics attached,
Thanks

Partitions for those disks appear not to be using the whole disk, post the output from:

fdisk -l /dev/sdb and fdisk -l /dev/sde

Yep, partitions are MBR and only 1.8T, they should be GPT and use the whole disk, with the array stopped copy/paste:

sgdisk -o -a 8 -n 1:32K:0 /dev/sdb

sgdisk -o -a 8 -n 1:32K:0 /dev/sde

Then reboot, those disks will again show as wrong, do another new config, and they should then mount.

This is result of the command, is it okay? to restart?

For sdb you need to override with -g:

sgdisk -g -o -a 8 -n 1:32K:0 /dev/sdb

For sde leave it for now, we can check again after rebooting, and if needed, try to repair the backup header, but creating the new partition should fix it.

How to fix backup header for sde?

Looks like the new partition didn't get created, post again: fdisk -l /dev/sde

Yep, it's still the old one, try again with the array stopped:

sgdisk -o -a 8 -n 1:32K:0 /dev/sde

It's still not creating the new partition, we can try one more thing, if it doesn't work, you will need to downgrade and rebuild the disk.

Stop the array, type wipefs -a /dev/sde then sgdisk -o -a 8 -n 1:32K:0 /dev/sde one more time, after that post fdisk -l /dev/sde

Trying to summarize
1. After upgrading 2 of my drives unmountable

  1. Check using fdisk -l /dev/sdb and fdisk -l /dev/sde, both drives detected 2 TB, real capacity is 10TB and 4TB so next step.

  2. Using command from this post

  3. Check again with step number 2, if didn't work try this post

  4. If the problem still persist then try this step

  5. if the drives already detected with the real capacity, then do this

It may, but it's always best for people to start a new thread and ask for help, some cases may look similar but not be the same issue, and running commands that were meant for a specific case may cause damage.
