June 24, 201214 yr First things first: Version:5.0-rc4 Syslog: http://pastebin.com/0njt1Jwe I'm having some serious noobness going on here. I have already added two drives to the unRAID and set them up using preclear. I have an additional 3TB drive that I will be using for my parity drive, but before I do that I would like to move everything over to my other two drives first. It's already added (physically) to the unRAID case. I have tried mounting (it is in NTFS) using the "mount -r -t ntfs /dev/sda/ /mnt/media" as well as "mount -r -t 3g-ntfs /dev/sda /mnt/media" after installing the 3g-ntfs pakcage. I have even tried using a Live CD of uBuntu, but it could see my 3TB but not the other two that are already setup. Oddly enough they appeared but when I tried to open them they would disappear. I also tried using WHS 2011 thats on a seperate drive, but it could not see the the unRAID drives. Any suggestions, links, or comments on what a noob I am are welcome
June 24, 201214 yr the partition in unRAID (and most operating systems) is NOT on the base drive, therefore, you would never mount /dev/sda, but instead /dev/sda1, or /dev/sda2 (if there is a second partition) or /dev/sda3 (if there is a third partition on the disk) try mount -r -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/media Joe L.
June 24, 201214 yr Author OK that makes sense. I assumed that /dev/sda was what I would use because that was what was on top(see below: taken from unRAID Tower Main Page). Tried the command you suggested (went through all the partitions) and each time I got the "wrong fs type, etc.." error. /dev/sda ST33000651AS_9XK0NVJF 46°C 3.00T /dev/sda1 ST33000651AS_9XK0NVJF 46°C /dev/sda2 ST33000651AS_9XK0NVJF-part2 46°C /dev/sda3 ST33000651AS_9XK0NVJF-part3
June 24, 201214 yr Author I'm pretty sure this disk was setup as Dynamic in Windows 7, so I believe my only option is to take that HDD and put it onto one of my Windows machines and transfer data via LAN :'( Kind of a bummer because it's going to take so much longer. Thanks for your help though.
October 22, 201213 yr the partition in unRAID (and most operating systems) is NOT on the base drive, therefore, you would never mount /dev/sda, but instead /dev/sda1, or /dev/sda2 (if there is a second partition) or /dev/sda3 (if there is a third partition on the disk) try mount -r -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/media Joe L. Oh boy. This presents a huge problem for me... When I installed unraid and set up my disks, I used the GUI to configure partitions. Data transferred over fine. Under unmenu, there is an option for me to mount /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1, etc. So have I somehow screwed this up, and /dev/sda etc are where unraid is storing data (if this is even possible)? Why is unmenu showing an option (with a red background if that helps, under disk management) to mount /dev/sda1 sdb1 sdc1 etc? Have I screwed up my system partitioning from the start?
