Silver_30 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment
mort78 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment
Killersplace Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hello I am not an expert in the area but for me if you scroll down there is an alternative to formatting the disks Quote Link to comment
