November 10, 201312 yr Hi All, I currently have a drive showing as unformatted in my array, i was trying to sort a different drive and managed to mess it up (I believe i ran reiserfs on /dev/sdh instead of the correct drive) So i now have two drives that are unformatted. The drive i was orignally trying to fix i believe is dead (was trying to check for errors, and reiserfs just gives up) but the other drive is perfectly fine still, and i can mount it manually and access all the files, how do i get unraid to recognize it? I found reference to mkmbr on the forum, however when i try to run it it returns with root@jbox:~# mkmbr /dev/sdh ioctl BLKGETSIZE: File too large This is for a 3TB drive so i figure since its GPT i need to use a different thing, but i cant find any reference to what. I'm on unraid 5.0-beta14. Edit: fdisk shows the following root@jbox:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdh WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdh'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. Disk /dev/sdh: 3000.6 GB, 3000592982016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 364801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdh1 1 267350 2147483647+ ee GPT Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary. Edit 2: Okay so after some more reading (http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=20056.0) that thread seems to be almost the same problem, and it suggests if i can mount it manually, then unraid should be able to as well, by running the initconfig However, one of my other drives is failed, so is this the best course of action to go for, since hopefully it will come back online, with only the 1 disk as failed, which i can then swap out and rebuild. I'll wait for some advice incase i'm totally reading this all wrong Thanks for any help!
