XFS unmountable drives


Recommended Posts

Unfortunately that will not work.    The drive has to have initially been partitioned by unRAID and at that point a signature is written to the drive so that unRAID can recognise a drive it has previously used.  Without that unRAID will try and partition the drive to its standard when you first allocate it to the array.

laaaaame.

 

manually mounting the drives (e.g. mount /dev/sde1 /mnt/disk1) doesnt work either though with a bad fs type?

Your partition table just got overwritten. :(

Oh good!

 

Why the F%&& does a simple mount command do that? Jeeez!

I think mounting it at disk1 was probably a bad idea. Don't mess with unRAID managed devices! If you mount them outside the array it might work. Not tried it with XFS drives, but I use the Unassigned Devices plugin (and before that SNAP) to mount NTFS drives all the time.

I currently have two XFS drives mounted outside of the array (thru the "go" file), although in full disclosure unRAID originally formatted the drives to XFS so I cannot say how the Ubuntu formatted XFS drives would handle...  ???
