jarredh Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Hey all, One of my drives in my array is stuck in read only mode. The drive is formatted to reiserfs. I ran reiserfsck and it wanted me to run --rebuild-tree option but I would ideally not have to do that option because it will create the lost+found folder and I dont really have time to go through the files. I have space on my array to take all the data off and reformat the drive to xfs to potentially fix this issue but the problem is the permissions on that drive wont allow me to copy or move the data with unbalanced. I tried to run the Docker Safe new Perms in tools but it did not work on the drive and I still could not move or copy my files. Do I have any other options here other then running --rebuild-tree? What if I just reformatted the drive to XFS and let the parity rebuild when I readd the drive to the array? Will That work? I should also add that my mover does not seem to working. When I manually invoke the mover it doesnt seem to be moving any files. I don't know if that is related to this issue or not. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Edited November 13, 2020 by jarredh Quote Link to comment
ChatNoir Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hey, you should attach your diagnostics in your next post (Tools/Diagnostics). Quote Link to comment

Will That work? This option will definitely NOT work. A rebuild cannot be used to change the file system type or to repair file system corruption (which is what you appear to gave). If you attempt to format the drive to XFS you would lose the contents of the drive as Unraid would write an empty file system to the drive and update parity to reflect this. Quote Link to comment

jarredh Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 I ran it and it wants me to rebuild tree. I guess I will go that route and deal with the consequences. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Most times --rebuild-tree doesn't create a lot of lost+found folders, but it will depend on the level of corruption, I would also recommend converting all the remaining reiser drives to xfs since reiser is not recommended for years now.

jarredh Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Yeah I know its been on my to do list forever. Honestly have just been really lazy about it. I guess this is going to kick me into high gear and make me do the conversion on all my drives to try and avoid this in the future. Quote Link to comment
