I'm a Dumby... Formatted a drive


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone... did something stupid.

 

I have all my disks set to XFS but I want to change to BTRFS to see if I get any performance Improvements.

 

Here is what I did:

Turned off the array

Selected disk 1

Changed to BTRFS

Started array

formatted

Did not see a rebuild option anywhere

*Face Palm*

.

*PANIC!*

Turn off array

change it back to XFS

Start in Maint. Mode.

SSH into unraid

ran this: xfs_repair -v /dev/md1

right now i'm waiting for it to complete. It was not able to find the primary superblock and it searching for a secondary.

 

What Should I do at this time. The format did not take enough time to really remove any data on the drive other than probably the partition table data.
