August 12, 201213 yr Hi everyone, I have just finished preclearing my first disk and am now trying to add it to the Array (only disk in the array). I am having a few issues in doing so however. When selecting the disk from the drop down menu in the unRAID web UI and clicking "Start" tp bring the Array online I see that it says it's mounting the disks but thats where it hangs. The web UI then times out and I can not longer access the UI. I still have telnet access though. I performed a reiserfsck --check /dev/sdb but I get the error below: ########### reiserfsck --check started at Mon Aug 13 08:46:30 2012 ########### Replaying journal: No transactions found Zero bit found in on-disk bitmap after the last valid bit. Checking internal tree.. Bad root block 0. (--rebuild-tree did not complete) Aborted I don't really know where to go from here as this is the first time I've used unRAID and am very new to Linux as well. I have also attached my syslog if that helps. I am on version 5.0 RC5 Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have no idea what I need to do next. Thanks, William. syslog.zip
August 13, 201213 yr That check was on the entire drive [sd#], you need to do so on the first partition [sd#1]: ie: reiserfsck --check /dev/sdb1
August 13, 201213 yr Author That check was on the entire drive [sd#], you need to do so on the first partition [sd#1]: If I run the check on the 1st partition it errors. reiserfs_open: the reiserfs superblock cannot be found on /dev/sdb1. Failed to open the filesystem. 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.

Does the disk show as "unformatted" ?? Do you see a "Format" button? (with a check-box to enable it perhaps) Have you formatted the disk by pressing that "Format" button? (if not, there will not yet be a file-system for you to check on it, not yet..., not until it has been formatted) Joe L.

This happened as soon as I tried to add the disk to the array. Before I tried to add it to the array, after the preclear finished there was no format check box. Is there a way to format the drive from command line?
August 13, 201213 yr The system needs to be rebooted. See Console Commands in my sig. The section is "To cleanly Stop the array from the command line". Once its stopped enter "shutdown -r now" to reboot.

Once its stopped enter "shutdown -r now" to reboot. I have already done all that. Even when I have access to the GUI there is no format option. Is it possible to format from CLI?

There is, but there should never have a need. From what I saw of the syslog, you are loading a lot of add-ons, they are probably interfering with the startup. Walk before you run. Get rid of them until AFTER you have the array established and have a parity disk installed and parity initially calculated. Joe L.

Looks like the add-ons were interrupting the start up.
