Bandit_King Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 The drive was part of the array but when I added a hdd with a similar model number it went to unassigned. I have tried new config, resetting the computer and powering it down but when click to my btrfs 8tb hdd under sdi it won't add to array. It shows up as unassigned disk, and under DISK with my data on there instead of disks. How I make it back to the arrray? It don't let me format only mount as unassigned disk. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Please post the diagnostics: Tools -> Diagnostics It might also help if you better describe step by step what you did. Quote Link to comment
Bandit_King Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Basically its unassigned disk where I can access data under DISK instead of DISKS and it won't join the array I think its a usb disk that I mounted before that was part of the array. Plus there no option to format unless you do it by command line which I have no ideal how to do. I'm new at this! Edited February 27, 2020 by Bandit_King Quote Link to comment

Bandit_King Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) I'm using 2 proboxes enclosures one I got new and the old one lets me mount usb hdds as part of the array. I'm guess the new one I got is not letting me mount SDi as the 7th hdd. These are connected usb 3.0. I guess I can copy the data to the other disks only 500gbs were written but where is option to format this disk? Edited February 27, 2020 by Bandit_King Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 This is the result of using USB enclosures, both identify the disk the same way, so for Unraid that is the same disk and can't be assigned twice. Quote Link to comment

I'm outta of space, and the old mediasonic probox has no problem running 4 hdds as part of the array. If I change the name or mount point will that work? Only the hdd I got recently is not joining it's brothers as part of the array. I running 20 hdds and 5 are usb. only 1 is giving problems. Can i format it and it will work?

Bandit_King Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) I have to buy a different model hdd or use internally I guess? Well I guess I can still use it as unassigned which is a bummer I'm tying to mass move my data to the array from freenas. Edited February 27, 2020 by Bandit_King Quote Link to comment

That won't help, that is part of the enclosure, added to all disks, it might work with a different enclosure, but again, not recommended. Quote Link to comment
Bandit_King Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Does a parity drive fix unassigned drives if problems like errors like data corruption, or do they have to part of the array? Edited February 27, 2020 by Bandit_King Quote Link to comment
Bandit_King Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Using different enclosure works thanks for the ideal now I can add to the array!!! Probably going to buy different types of HDDs for the probox in the future. Quote Link to comment

Parity can only rebuild disks in the parity array. And rebuilding from parity is unlikely to fix corruption on disks in the parity array. Quote Link to comment

I stuck the hdd into a cloning hdd station and connected it usb 3.0 same as an external closure except with a different name. Edited March 1, 2020 by Bandit_King Quote Link to comment
