ashman70 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I have added an SSD to my second UnRaid server that is currently doing a parity check, how do I access it or create a share so I can add my ISO's for the VM's I want to create on it? Link to comment
CHBMB Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Ash, Use the Unasssigned Devices plugin... You can find it in Community Applications... Link to comment
ashman70 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 I have it installed and I have my SSD as an unassigned device, I just don't know how to access it or create a share on it. Link to comment
CHBMB Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Click on the drive to view the partitions. You don't actually mount the drive, you mount the partition... Link to comment
ashman70 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Thats helpful thanks, but it must be because my array is doing a parity check that I can't click on the drive as I am unable to at the moment. Link to comment
CHBMB Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Nope, Just slotted in a new drive, started a parity check and mounted it.... Is it formatted? Link to comment
ashman70 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 No, I did a preclear on it, but I can't seem to do anything with it, weird. Link to comment
CHBMB Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Preclear doesn't equal formatting. Looks like you'll need to format it first... Hang on, I'll do some more checks my end, you've piqued my interest with this... Link to comment

ashman70 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 What format do you suggest for this drive? I am going to use it mostly for VM's. Link to comment
CHBMB Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 <hint>destructive mode</hint> Jonathan you've spoiled my fun! I was getting into this. Never knew about the destructive mode, was that added at a later date, because I don't remember ever turning it on and I'm pretty sure I've formatted disks before using this.... I was only 60% through my preclear.... Actually checking, looks like I may have done my formatting through command line... 2015.09.18e Add: Destructive Mode selection on Settings, allowing users to delete and format disk/partitions. Fix: >2TB partitions not correctly aligned on format. Fix: Areca disks not appearing correctly. Fix: errors appearing on console if a symlinks already exist. Fix: file browser opening a new window.

CHBMB Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 What format do you suggest for this drive? I am going to use it mostly for VM's. Either xfs or btrfs. I use xfs... Not sure I entirely trust btrfs just yet... Link to comment
ashman70 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 How do you create the: /mnt/virtualization share you have on your SSD? Link to comment
CHBMB Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Click the partition and rename it, and if you're from North America I'd like to draw your attention to the correct spelling... Link to comment
ashman70 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Do you leave destructive mode on all the time? When I try to mount it, it doesn't show mounted, the mount option is still there, although the auto mount option is on. Link to comment

When I try to mount it, it doesn't show mounted, the mount option is still there, although the auto mount option is on. I never ever knew it existed until you did... It was off when I first went into the setting... Link to comment
