ZimaOS not displaying drives properly

Hello! I recently installed ZimaOS on an old MiniPC I had lying around. So far things are running smoothly, except that the drives I have aren’t really being shown.

I have two 4TB hard drives, and when I plug them into my external USB hard drive enclosure, Zima OS recognizes that the two drives have been inserted, but when I click “Manage” There are no options to do anything with them. They don’t show up in the file manager either.

I’m a bit of a newbie, so I’m at a bit of a loss for what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!



If the USB drive is detected, but storage management doesn’t display anything, it’s likely because the file system on your hard drive isn’t a supported file system.

Details:

In this case, you can format the file system on another computer or use the command line in ZimaOS.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Enhancing USB formatting support in the storage panel is already in our plans.

Hopefully, this information will be helpful.

Thank you very much for the advice! I’ll try formatting the disks to a supported file system, and see if that helps.
