October 9, 201213 yr Hi, I am on 5.0-rc8a. I precleared a new 2TB 204 Samsung hard drive using the AF method. That finished an hour or so ago so then I stopped my array and then went and added the new hard drive as disk 8 and started it up again. The problem is that it has been stuck like this for over 30 mins now with a spinning cursor. It says: "Spinning up all drives...clearing disk8*... Start array...Mounting disks..." I have attached a syslog to see if that helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated syslog1.txt
October 9, 201213 yr Author I seem to have fixed it. For anyone else who encounters this problem I did the following. Had a quick look at my syslog and saw that something to do with the plugin "Headphones" was the last thing shown. I then searched on here and there seemed to be a couple of posts with people having a similar problem who were advised to do the following: 1) disable addons/plugins by renaming a directory. In this case I changed the plugin directory to "plugin_old" 2) do a safe powerdown, I followed this post http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=1905.msg13461#msg13461 3) power up Mine now showed the drive in the menu and is allowing me now to format it. Cheers
