Hello,

 

I am building my array and copying over from WHS so i've not let parity run yet. I had a hardware crash and lots 2 disks. I reiserfsck'd them and it said to rebuild the tree, so I did, then it said it couldn't fix it and i should change the disk. Anyway, long story short, I pulled the disks out, reformatted them on Windows NTFS - the disks are working fine now. I put them back in uNRAID and the array comes up but says that two disks need formatting. I click to format them, but nothing happend, in the syslog it says the attached. Can anyone tell me how to get these to reformat so I don't loose the data on my other disks in the array?

 

Jon

I know in one of the first beta versions the mkreiserfs program was missing.

 

When you tried to rebuild the file system tree what "device" did you use?  I don't think I've ever seen reiserfsck say it could not repair the damage.  I sort of wish you had asked for help earlier.  But, not that you are where you are...

 

What version of unRAID are you running?

 

To format your two drives you just need to do the following from the command line (I'm assuming you check the checkbox under the "format" button to enable it when trying the web-interface)

 

Now... this will work if you did not change the partition table when you formatted them in the NTFS box.  If you did, then it might not work.

 

mkreiserfs /dev/md1

 

and then

 

mkreiserfs /dev/md3

 

In both cases I think you'll be prompted to continue with the formatting.  Respond with "Yes"  (Capital "Y", lower case "es")

Then, stop the array, and re-start it.  It should be able to mount the disks if the formatting succeeded.

Oh yes..  attach the entire syslog to your next post, zip it if it is large.  It takes so much of the guesswork out of helping.

Joe L,

 

That fixed it thanks. Parity checking now...
