Unsupported Partition Layout

[Spies]

I don't expect anyone to know the answer to this question but I'd like to understand what might have happened.

 

I have upgraded my license and added an additional drive, in order to add the additional drive, I had to re-route some Sata and SAS cables, as one SAS cable was in use on a SATA drive and I needed it for the additional one I was adding. The drive in question was the parity drive.

 

On plugging everything back in (this was done whilst server was running (but with array unmounted) as its a pain to get it to boot from USB), which I've done before with no issue.

 

On remounting the array, one of the drives was reporting Unsupported Partiton Layout, I have no reason to think this drive has issues or is drying, I have had to unassign the drive and then re-assign it for unraid to begin the rebuild process.

 

Here is the relevant info from the syslog. I now no longer have an sdb device listed, but it is now instead sdj
