ashman70 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I am setting up a second UnRaid server, using 2TB drives that were previously used in my other UnRaid server, how do I format them? They are showing up with only 1.24TB available, I want to wipe them? Thanks AM Link to comment
garycase Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 To force a reformat of a drive ... Stop the array. Click on the drive in the Main tab; Change the "file system type" (i.e. if it's now XFS, select Reiserfs); then Start the array and check the box to format all unformatted drives. Wait a few minutes for that to finish. If you had to change the file system to something you didn't really want, just repeat the process -- i.e. this time you could select XFS -- and then everything will be cleared. Note you can change as many drives as you want before you Start the array and do the formatting -- so you could clear all of the drives at once. Link to comment
