starcat Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Hi there, I am running unRaid version 6.2.0-rc3 and need to upgrade to a version including support GPT partitioning. Anyone know which unRaid version did introduce GPT partitions? Thanks Edited February 23, 2020 by starcat Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 GPT support was added on late 4.x releases, all v5 and v6 support it. 1 Quote Link to comment
starcat Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Perhaps, I asked the question wrong. If I go into Disk Settings (in 6.2.0-rc3), I can only choose MBR and MBR-4k aligned in the partition scheme to be used for newly added drives. There is no option for GPT. Maybe 6.2.0 is able to read GPT but not use it as partitioning scheme for new drives. I am planning to add new 8TB drives ot the array and wanted to start having them GPT partitioned, 4k aligned and XFS formatted. Thanks, highly appreciated your help! Quote Link to comment

If you read the GUI built-in help you will see that setting only applies to drives that are 2TB or less in size and all drives larger than that are partitioned using GPT. 1 Quote Link to comment
