Old 1TB drive - Was it a parity drive?

[bwperez]

I pulled an old 1TB drive from the "junk drawer" that shows it is a reiserfs filesystem.  when I try to view the contents in Ubuntu after it is auto-mounted it throws a message "This location could not be displayed."  You do ont have permissions necessary to view the contents..."

 

I've confirmed it is a reiserfs drive:

 

ubuntu@ubuntu:/dev$ sudo blkid /dev/sdc1

/dev/sdc1: UUID="92ce110f-0c4b-423d-9711-bd6bde92a431" TYPE="reiserfs"

 

Is there any way I can confirm if it was a data drive or a parity drive?

Parity drive doesn't have a filesystem.

As noted above, if it's formatted with reiser it was a data drive.

 

Stick it in a spare system; create a trial UnRAID key (you could even use v5 so you don't need a key); and then assign ONLY that drive as a data drive -- no parity -- and you should then be able to view it via your network.

 

Be sure you don't have two servers booted with the same name ("Tower") while you're doing that.

It never fails.  Spend hours researching and looking for ways to do something and the simplest answer is provided in minutes.

 

I tested in a spare system and found the drive was empty.  Exactly what I needed to confirm.  Thanks for the help!
