(SOLVED) - Drive shows up in both the array and Unassigned Devices.

[Vassili]

I have an odd  thing going on and I don't know how I caused it.

I have a drive that shows up in both the array and Unassigned Devices.

 

When I removed the drive from the array it showed up twice in Unassigned Devices section as device sdq and sdp.  Same model number and serial number and content.

 

Currently the drive is formatted and attached to the array, and completely empty. It's listed as disk13 in the array and device sdq in Unassigned Devices.

 

How can I remove it from Unassigned Devices section ?

Any help here ?

Grab your diagnostics first (Tools -> Diagnostics) and attach the zip file to your next post.

 

It sounds as though the disk might have dropped offline and then reconnected, which suggests a bad SATA or power connection. The diagnostics should hopefully reveal more. In the meantime you could try shutting down, checking connections and restarting - but grab the diagnostics first.

not needed

You rebooted before grabbing those diagnostics so there isn't much to see. You have a lot of disks but only about half of them are array disks, the rest being unassigned. Try reseating them if they are in some sort of cage, or their cables if they are not.

Hmm,  I don't see where rebooting makes a difference, ...  the same situation exists after the reboot.

I needed to reboot because the diagnostics wouldn't make the zip file for over 4 hours.

 

I will re-seat that drive tomorrow and see where that takes me.

Thanks for trying

Never mind, there is no problem.

The letters of the serial number were very close but different and I didn't notice it.
