Problem replacing drive

[Julian0o]

Hello,

 

i have a problem with my new drive. I wanted to replace a 1TB drive with a new 4TB drive. When i boot the system, it shows me the missing disk and i can choose the new 4TB drive. When i do this, everything gets greyed out, about 5 seconds later, the missing drive snaps back to unassigned and i can't choose the new 4tb drive anymore!

 

Whats wrong? Im using Unraid 6 Beta10a

 

EDIT: It was caused by a bad drive. Had to put it in my PC to get this. Now I have some request: Some hint would be nice with that error. I think the most of us use new drives to put them in there unraid. I was only able to find the Problem when i put the drive in my pc.

 

 

Greetings!

Is this the parity drive? If not, what size is the parity disc?

[Julian0o]

Its not the parity, but the parity is a 4TB drive. Both 4TB drives are WD Green 4TB.

Try doing the replacement after booting in safe mode.

Ok, i have it. The drive is corrupt. Whether at windows nor on osx the drive can be formated. I will send it back and get another one...

 

Thanks for your support!

It is usually a good idea to run the preclear script against a new or questionable drive.  It does various writes and reads against the entire drive to identify any issues before placing it in your array.
