March 31, 20197 yr Hi there, my system was running out of disk space so bough a new Seagate IronWolf 4TB NAS drive. I tried to preclear it in Unassigned Devices which failed and the disk got removed from Unassigned Devices (it was not visible until I restarted Unraid). I tried again changing cables & ports but the same issue. This is the error I get --> FAIL: Result: Erasing the disk failed. ls: cannot access '/sys/block/sdm': No such file or directory I have attached the logs. Would like some expert opinion before I return the disk that it is really an issue the disk itself. Appreciate all the help. regards, Manoj cloud1-diagnostics-20190331-0742.zip
March 31, 20197 yr Community Expert Disk dropped offline, it's connected to a port multiplier on a Marvell controller, either one of those are not recommended, both together are especially not.
March 31, 20197 yr Author I use a NORCO SS-500 5-Bay SATA / SAS Hot Swap Rack Module to fit 5 HDDs in a 3 disk slots. Do you think that would be the problem? I have other 3 disks in the same rack working fine. i switched the HDDs withing the rack but it didn't help.
