September 16, 201213 yr 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. 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): AHHH!!!! what have i done lol Cheers

November 25, 201213 yr 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.
