I went to upgrade my unraid, followed the steps correct until I got to the point at which I had to re-associate the drives to the array once again ... when I re-associated the drives, the identification column showed these drives as "not installed" ... the option to execute (as I thought) was a start button that talked about starting up the array first clearing disks and adding them to the array ... I clicked this which started a process that said it would take while ... I noticed in the line statements it said ... "clearing disk1, disk2, disk3" .. (I only have 3 disks on my unraid) ... I got nervous and after about 10 min, it said "1% complete" ... I got real nervous thinking it was clearing (deleting all my data) ... so I forced stopped my computer .... I found some posts that mentioned to run:

 

reiserfsck -–scan-whole-partition -–rebuild-tree /dev/sdc1

 

I did this ... and it stopped after 20% complete (which took about 4 hours) ... it gave me an error message that implied it has further issues .... If I go to retry this .... I'm now getting an error that says:

 

"If the partition table has not been changed and the partition is valid and it really contains a reiserfs partition, then the superblock is corrupted and you need to run this utility with --rebuild-sb."

 

I have some data I would be fairly dis-appointed to lose, ... I'm wondering if anybody can help give me some next steps?

When I upgraded I never had to re-associate the drives in the array. I think something went wrong before that if you had to do that.

 

 

post is support this is the wrong section

opentoe, thanks for this insight (I thought there was something strange about that) ... mikefallen, I apologize, is there a way I can move this message into the general support area?

If there are issues in upgrading to rc3, I think it is best left here.
