New 3TB Drive Not Showing Up To Be Added

[thesensfan]

Over the weekend I moved a number of large files around on my pool drives, and ran into some major issues.  I am not sure what happen but some how the drives became corrupted where on my next reboot windows went into repair mode (for hour) and updated many inodes.  

 

Nonetheless, I finally pulled one of the drives out (2TB) and from that point on the system booted clean.  Today I added a new 3TB drive to the system however when I go into DrivePool I do not see my drive listed.  Yet I am able to see it in disk management and windows explorer.

 

The one thing I do notice thatis different in Disk management there is a "yellowish/greenish" border around the new disk as appose to a typical blue.

 

Any ideas why DrivePool doe snot see this disk?

Have you created a volume on the new HDD in disk management? Can Explorer see the HDD?

Is it a Dynamic Disk?  If so DP currently does not support dynamic disks only basic.

The Yellowish color usually indicates that the disk is a Dynamic Disk. 

Unfortuantely, we do not support these currently.

 

You need to convert the disk back to a basic disk. This usually requires deleting the partition and re-creating it. If you have any data on the disk, you'd need to move it off of the drive first, obviously.

Ok thanks... converted the drive and all is well.
