June 20, 20206 yr I have started to try to learn computers a little. A friend of mine gave me a dell r510 server with a copy of unraid on it to try to learn some. I keep having problems getting things done and feel bad for asking him all the time for help. I was hoping that I could find some help here to get me pointed in the right direction. I have formatted and started the array but all the drives except the parity drives say unmountable. I don't know how to get them mounted. I was trying to add a share and it would not let me. In all my limited knowledge i think it is the unmountable drives is whats causing the problems with shares, but unsure. For some reason I am unable to add 2 disk to my array. I have been thinking about doing a "clean" install of Unraid just to be able to start fresh and hopefully get rid of some problems. I am running version 6.8.3 - I upgraded it the other day. I have added the diagnostics zip file but I was not sure if that is what I was supposed to do. If you have any questions or need anything please ask I will do my best to answer them. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance Charlie heatonhub-diagnostics-20200618-2132.zip
June 20, 20206 yr Hi Charlie, Welcome to Unraid. Don't stress, there are some extremely clever people on here, that'll know exactly what the problem is. Just looking at a glance though, I notice you have A LOT of errors on those disks. I recently had a disk that had some bad sectors on it. As soon as I saw it, I bought a new drive to replace it. Whilst I was waiting for the new drive to arrive, more bad sectors started appearing. It got to a point where unraid literally unmounted the disk, as it clearly wasn't in great shape anymore. Perhaps this is the issue??? Did you get those drives with the system? Sorry I can't be more help to you, but again, someone on here will sort your issue for you I'm sure. All the best, Mort
June 20, 20206 yr Hello I am not an expert in the area but for me if you scroll down there is an alternative to formatting the disks
