1q8448q1 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) I had to replace a harddrive in my Unraid Server and so I attached a new Seagate SAS-Drive. It's correctly connected and the config-utility of the SAS-controller does detect the drive. (see picture, it's the one in Slot 6) Unfortunately though Unraid does not detect the drive and I can not assign it in the webui. What could be the solution here? Thank you for your support!

1q8448q1 Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) sdc and sde are the drives in slots 5 & 7 Does anybody know what difference is between the "0003" and the "MS0F" as shown in the controllers config utility? Edited November 15, 2020 by 1q8448q1 Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 You should post your system’s diagnostics zip file (obtained via Tools -> Diagnostics) so we can see what is going on and give sensible feedback. Quote Link to comment

itimpi Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 The problem is that the SAS disk currently has an a sector size of 520 which is not supported. You should be able to find forum posts that give the steps required to reformat to a supported sector size. Quote Link to comment

I found this post: And I am currently trying to format the drive with sg_format, which seems to take quite some while. Quote Link to comment

I would expect it to take some time as I think it has to write to every sector on the drive. Quote Link to comment
1q8448q1 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Yes I took all night for this 4TB drive. But now it has successfully finished and Unraid showed the new disk after a reboot! Parity rebuild has started. Thank you very much for your kind help @itimpi Quote Link to comment
