Unmountable: No file system


Recommended Posts

When a previously working drive shows up as ‘unmountable’ it normally means there is some level of file system corruption.    To fix this restart the array in Maintenance mode and then click on the drive on the Main tab and the resulting dialog has options for checking and repairing the file system on the drive.  
 

Initially this will run a read-only check which merely reports on what the repair process would do without actually changing anything.  To actually fix any reported corruption you need to rerun without the -n (no-modify) flag and if then prompted to do so with the -L flag added.    Assuming the repair completes you should now be able to restart the array in normal mode and the drive should mount OK.

 

if you get any output you do not understand ask again for guidance.
