(SOLVED)Cache drive fails to auto-mount

[Datastore]

I seem to have an ongoing issue with my cache drive not mounting when the system boots. The array comes online but not my cache drive. I must stop the array and add the cache manually. Once started all files /dockers/vm`s run as they all should.

 

I decided to backup my appdata/dockers and delete the btrfs partition held on the cache drive. The drive was formatted and added as a cache drive.

 

Reboot and the same issue.

 

It makes no difference if i install the drive on the Rocketraid 640L or i use the motherboard sata port.

 

Could someone take a look at the latest system log please? iam at a loss trying to fathom this out as i have not had this problem before.

 

Thanks

As strange as this sounds, try using a totally different browser to assign the drive. If you used chrome, try firefox or safari, etc.

gubbgnutten suggested that in another thread i derailed regarding this issue.

 

I have tried a few different browsers. nothing seems to stick. I have tried chrome,firefox,edge,chrome mobile and safari from mac osx

 

thanks though

i seem to have isolated my issue.

 

I had to RMA this supermicro board. That took 2months! In that time i removed the cache drive because i wanted to buy a bigger one for when i received my board back.

 

I never formatted the older drive which was my original cache drive. When the original is installed it is recognised as cache. ideal!

 

Is there a proper procedure i should be following when removing a cache drive? So i can use another one.
