Format Drive

[gator4ever]

I had a power failure which left write errors on most drives including Parity drive.

I was able to recover most data off all drives.

I want to re-format all the array drives at once.

Is there any terminal command that will do this???

I have 10 drives in the array. 

Any suggestions other then UPS would be appreciated.

No, change filesystem to a different one for every drive and you can format them all at once at array start, then and if needed change back to original filesystem and format again.

Thank you.

I found a solution that should work.

Boot of Gparted USB and Gparted has the ability to run scripts.

While it will do one drive at a time, it will do one after another. 

Then the job of rebuilding the array. Hey.

You'll still need to format all disks with Unraid, or they won't mount.
