Hi! I have a couple of WD Green 4TB HDDs, both of which are populated with data that I don't want to lose, but do not (have never) had a partition table allocated. They were formatted as ext4 on the whole disk. In my previous server, I can access the data by mounting e.g. /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda1.

In Unraid, they show up in Unassigned Devices as sdc and sdd, but obviously don't show any partitions, and therefore cannot be mounted.

Example fdisk:

# fdisk -l /dev/sdc
Disk /dev/sdc: 3.64 TiB, 4000787030016 bytes, 7814037168 sectors
Disk model: WDC WD40EZRX-00M
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes

My end goal is to incorporate these drives into an Unraid pool, so I'm looking for a safe way to mount these drives and begin copying the data into a pool.

Cheers for any assistance.

Next time please use the existing plugin support thread, but UD doesn't support mounting whole devices; you can still mount them manually and copy the data.

Ah apologies, new here. That makes sense, thanks.
