Newly created RAID5 cannot be mounted

  • Hi,

    So I have just created my very first raid using md plugin.

    when I go to Storage > file system > Create and mount file system

    System msg then creates the mount. I have 0 erros. but when I want to confirm configuration change I get this error


    this is how it looks from CLI

    Code
    cat /proc/mdstat
    Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
    md0 : active raid5 sdb[1] sda[0] sdd[3] sdc[2]
    6000798720 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU]
    bitmap: 0/4 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk


    how it looks from the GUI



    My NAS is built on SBC Rpi5 8GB.


    I tried to unmount the raid, remove the filesystem and try once again, but got same result.


    I would appreciate any hint.

    thank you

  • Hi Votdev,

    thanks for prompt reply.

    I didn't know I could get the error exported. sorry bout that.


    the result was a big AHA! moment


    enabling me to see the bug was actually a sufficient support :)


    So to be helpful also to other users.

    So my NAS was originally composed of old ntb HDDs. now after an upgrade to SSDs I did not remove all former file systems

    my plan was to use fifth unused SATA slot on the NAS to hook one hdd after another and copy the data like this.

    and thus to be able to do it remotely I needed to keep former samba setup.


    Apparently one of the disks was not EXT4 but NTFS which OVM didn't like to work with now and all I needed to do was to remove samba dlna shares with this disk and ofc this filesystem from OVM.

    it worked like a breeze.


    here is the relevant part of the error message
