No partition on SSD Help!!!

[pimp]

Hi guys.

 

I have been using unraid for a while now. slowing learning linux as i go.

 

I have just brought a SSD to mount outside of the array so sabnzbd, sickbeard and the alike can run. Not brought it for speed just less power and less wear for my other drives.

 

i plugged it in and let unmenu format the drive but i could mount it once it finished. a few hours later of trying all sorts of crap getting the drive mounted i tihnk i screwed it up some what.

 

Now this is the current state of my New Paper weight.

 

root@Tower:~# gdisk /dev/sdb
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.4

Partition table scan:
  MBR: not present
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: not present

Creating new GPT entries.

Command (? for help): ?
b	back up GPT data to a file
c	change a partition's name
d	delete a partition
i	show detailed information on a partition
l	list known partition types
n	add a new partition
o	create a new empty GUID partition table (GPT)
p	print the partition table
q	quit without saving changes
r	recovery and transformation options (experts only)
s	sort partitions
t	change a partition's type code
v	verify disk
w	write table to disk and exit
x	extra functionality (experts only)
?	print this menu

Command (? for help): o
This option deletes all partitions and creates a new protective MBR.
Proceed? (Y/N): y

Command (? for help): w

Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING
PARTITIONS!!

Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): y
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/sdb.
The operation has completed successfully.

unless there is a really good reason to put a GPT partition on that SSD drive, I would simply use fdisk, not gpart

(start on sector 64, end at end of disk., set type to "linux")

OR

If you have a recent version ofthe 5.X unRAID, just use

mkmbr /dev/sdb 64 0x83

then use

mkreiserfs /dev/sdb1

Thanks Joe your a star!!.

 

All working now.

I have the exact same issue, I tried using the mkmbr command and it states "command not found'.

I'm using Unraid 5.0 rc8a.

I tried using dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sde bs=512 count 2 to erase the GTP partition but that isn't working.

Any suggestions?

 

I figured it out my SSD died.

Do not but OCZ this thing has given me nothing but problems since day 1.

4 RMAs and I've given up on it, Intel of Crucial from now on.
