HI All,

 

I posted this on a server build thread, but I am thinking it belongs here.  I got all of my components and constructed my new server.  I am having some issues getting unraid to a place where it can start.  Here is what I have done-

 

1) I reformatted my Sony micro USB boot drive, copied over the 4.7 release, and copied my pro.key to the config directory

2) The box would not boot into unRaid- so I brought the micro thumb drive back to my windows pc, and ran as administrator the batch file like "make bootable"

3) Now Unraid boots, and my 4 drives are recognized - they are listed under "Devices"

4) I assign them (1 parity, 3 data), BUT NOTHING HAPPENS.  I cannot start array, as "No Array Disc Devices Have Been Assigned."  ... but this is untrue

5) Log file indicates the following:  "could not read superblock from /boot/config/super.dat

6) super.dat is not there, so I "touched" it to create one.  The size never changes, and stays at zero, no matter how may times I try to assign devices

7) Perhaps some kind of permission error?

 

Also,

These drives have no jumpers installed- should they?

 

Thanks for the assistance-

Attach a syslog. What are the drive models? Jumpers are not required for any disk. The jumper fiasco only applied to pre-4.7 systems.

Attached.

 

Drives are 3TB WD30EZRX SATA 6GB (green from Newegg)

I have 4 installed

 

 

syslog_2.txt

4.7 doesn't support 3Tb disks.

 

If you want to use disks larger than 2Tb you must use 5.0 (currently RC16c)

 

Thanks- I'll give it a try.

All now seems to be working with version: 5.0-rc16c.  Thanks for the help.
