Disk initializing problem

[knisa]

I have one 1Tb HDD on the first slot (left). I installed 18.1 firmware and i can not initialise / format disk data partition.
Please see attached pictures.

The error message of mke2fs indicates there is a syntax error in one of the scripts used in the firmware
We will look at that.
To format the data partition mnaully,on the linux command line try this command

Code: Select all

mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/sda8

be sure that you use /dev/sda8 in this command

From a ext3 partition, you can convert directly the fs (better to do it). So just click on the link "Vol-A" to load the volume menu and run the convert job.

I checked the script to format ext4 and there is nowhere a '(' in the command line :scratch I go to do a full test.

Please to post

Code: Select all

ls -al /etc/.setup.fs
cat /etc/.setup.fs/reset.sh

(please to note the dots)

So I made a test to reset sda but instead of running the mke2fs command I echoed the command line to valid its syntax.

As you can see the used command line does not contain '('
So you have an amazing issue on your nas. :scratch

Do you have it again after reinstalling the firmware ?

During I re-install 18.1 fw and update 18.2.

2 empty disk inserted and format its successfully.


Thanks your advice !

Ok

So i think you had a previously corrupted file system on your nas according with this issue and the other one
