HDD/Partition initialization problems

wipefs -a -f /dev/sda8 seemed to do the job

Code: Select all

root@fvdwsl-base:/tmp # wipefs -a -f /dev/sda8

The offset mentioned for zfs_member converted to decimal is 1997426864128 bytes so somewhere at the end of the disk. I wonder how it came there??. Was this disk used in another computer?

This is used disk, so it must have stayed there despite clean install.

Oke what does blkid now gives as output?

Code: Select all

blkid /dev/sda8

If no output format the partition and repeat blkid command.

If that gives ext4 as file system try to mount it and umount it

Code: Select all

mkdir /tmp/sda8
mount /dev/sda8 /tmp/sda8

umount /tmp/sda8

[jaker]

Code: Select all

root@fvdwsl-base:/tmp # blkid /dev/sda8
/dev/sda8: PARTLABEL="Linux filesystem" PARTUUID="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
root@fvdwsl-base:/tmp #

Should I try manual creation of ext4 or that web page reset/format functionality?

Then try first to format manually sda8 but by disabling the ext4 lazzy options...

Code: Select all

/usr/sbin/mke2fs -t ext4 -m 1 -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 /dev/sda8

So try blkid command

Code: Select all

blkid /dev/sda8

and again try to mount it

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/mount /dev/sda8 /tmp/sda8

[fvdw]

Yes do what Jocko has written

[jaker]

This seemed to work also. Mounting is also succesful.

Code: Select all

root@fvdwsl-base:/tmp # /usr/sbin/mke2fs -t ext4 -m 1 -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy
_journal_init=0 /dev/sda8

Web page also looks better.

:punk
All seems to be oke now, you can reboot the nas and after that sda8 should be mounted and available as shared data partition

[fvdw]

Note: free size should not be zero...
Is this still te case after reboot?

[Jocko]

Ok

So pretty good but not fully as the firmware claims there is no free space on Vol-A :scratch

Then post this output

Code: Select all

df -h /dev/sda8

[Jocko]

Indeed if jaker did not reboot yet the nas, sda8 is not mounted on /share/1000 and then the fw GUI returns this information
