January 14, 201610 yr 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?
January 14, 201610 yr Ash, Use the Unasssigned Devices plugin... You can find it in Community Applications...
January 14, 201610 yr Author 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.
January 14, 201610 yr Click on the drive to view the partitions. You don't actually mount the drive, you mount the partition...
January 14, 201610 yr Author 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.
January 14, 201610 yr Nope, Just slotted in a new drive, started a parity check and mounted it.... Is it formatted?
January 14, 201610 yr Author No, I did a preclear on it, but I can't seem to do anything with it, weird.
January 14, 201610 yr 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...
January 14, 201610 yr Author What format do you suggest for this drive? I am going to use it mostly for VM's.
January 14, 201610 yr <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.
January 14, 201610 yr 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...
January 14, 201610 yr Click the partition and rename it, and if you're from North America I'd like to draw your attention to the correct spelling...
January 14, 201610 yr Author 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.
January 14, 201610 yr 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. I never ever knew it existed until you did... It was off when I first went into the setting...
January 14, 201610 yr Click the partition and rename it, and if you're from North America I'd like to draw your attention to the correct spelling... Right... colour anyone?? it hurts my brains.
