DanGolden Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I don't seem to be able to format a brand new NVME SSD drive to use as a cache drive. I check that I want to format the drive and click format it then acts like it is formatting the drive. I'm getting these errors: Sep 17 22:57:43 Dorothy emhttpd: writing MBR on disk (nvme0n1) with partition 1 offset 64, erased: 0 Sep 17 22:57:43 Dorothy kernel: print_req_error: I/O error, dev nvme0n1, sector 0 Sep 17 22:57:43 Dorothy kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev nvme0n1, logical block 0, lost async page write Sep 17 22:57:43 Dorothy emhttpd: error: mkmbr, 1967: Input/output error (5): write: /dev/nvme0n1 Sep 17 22:57:43 Dorothy emhttpd: shcmd (1525): udevadm settle Sep 17 22:57:43 Dorothy emhttpd: shcmd (1526): mkdir -p /mnt/cache Sep 17 22:57:43 Dorothy emhttpd: /mnt/cache mount error: Unsupported partition layout Could I have gotten a bad drive/adapter for it?

JorgeB Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Try formatting it in a different PC and/or with a different OS, but looks like a device problem. Quote Link to comment
DanGolden Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 Put it into my Windows Desktop and was able to format it. But still getting the same issue when its put back into the server. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 See if you can format it manually in Unraid, just to confirm if it's a Linux or Unraid issue. First wipe it with blkdiscard then partition and format, I can post the commands if you don't know how to. Quote Link to comment
DanGolden Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 I was able to figure this out. Looked into my motherboard PCIE slots and found out I was using a gen2 slot instead of a gen 3. Appreciate you trying to help! 1 Quote Link to comment
