I am not yet in need of a Pro license but a bonus on the plus of adding an eighth drive (ala 6th data disk)  was

a nice surprise in b13 for us Plus users.

 

So today I added an eighth drive (disk6).  It had previously been precleared before it had been swapped out for a larger drive,

So I just let the Unraid interface clear and format it as XFS.

 

So now I have 6 data, 1 Parity and 1, cache drive.

No probs there everything looks sweet.

 

I go to my shares as I want to update them as I now have a new disk for a dedicated share.

 

I look at each share and in both the included and excluded disk list there is only disks 1-5, no disk 6?

 

I have stopped and started the array and even done a full shutdown, but the issue remains. 

This may be an issue with the UI or something else i'm not sure 

 

On a side note if I stop the array and modify a shares config file manually, adding disk6 to the included disks, then restart the array. 

it still doesnt appear and if I hit apply on the share it removes the disk6 from the included disks in the config file.

 

Mods : please move this as appropriate as I was not sure if its a defect or just me?

 

Any help or pointers to resolve this greatly appreciated

Did you go to the global share settings and enable the new drive to be included there?

*Slaps  Forehead*  Yes that was it! it has been such a long time since I added a drive vs swapped out that

I had forgotten there was a global on/off for each disk in the share.

 

Thanks for the heads up
