December 31, 201213 yr I try to rebuild an array on a server after a usb stick went bad. I know for sure all data disks have an reiser fs but Disk management says there isnt'a fs on a disk. The output of reiserfsck --check on that disk is: root@Cerberus:~# reiserfsck --check /dev/sdb1 reiserfsck 3.6.21 (2009 www.namesys.com) ************************************************************* ** If you are using the latest reiserfsprogs and it fails ** ** please email bug reports to [email protected], ** ** providing as much information as possible -- your ** ** hardware, kernel, patches, settings, all reiserfsck ** ** messages (including version), the reiserfsck logfile, ** ** check the syslog file for any related information. ** ** If you would like advice on using this program, support ** ** is available for $25 at www.namesys.com/support.html. ** ************************************************************* Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/sdb1 Will put log info to 'stdout' Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you do):Yes ########### reiserfsck --check started at Mon Dec 31 12:15:47 2012 ########### Replaying journal: Done.

It shows create reiserfs with a warning in a red bar. Can I still add the disk to the array?
December 31, 201213 yr Absolutely no idea why it does not recognize the existing file system, but unMENU uses the output of either the vol_id /dev/sdb1 or the blkid /dev/sdb1 command to try to determine if a file-system exists. (vol_id is used on older versions of unRAID, but it does not exist on newer versions, so blkid is used in its place) DO NOT FORMAT THE DRIVE USING unMENU if you are using the disk in the array. The warning is very real, you WILL lose all data on the drive. Are you sure that /dev/sdb was not your parity disk? I've got to learn to engage my brain this early in the morning, you just performed a file-system-check. /dev/sdb1 has a reiserfs, otherwise reiserfsck would have not worked. Joe L.
December 31, 201213 yr Author Yes Joe, I is not the parity disk. I tried the blkid command command and this shows a RAID fs on it so not a reiser fs. It turns out to be the cache disk. It has the sabnzb install on it, which I can see after assigning it as cache disk.

As long as the disk partition can be mounted, you'll be fine.
