- Minor
After a routine power-off, one of my array disks (Disk 4) was no longer recognized as part of the array and simply saying "Not installed". I did try different SATA ports on my mainboard, switched the SATA cable and only later on realized the disk shows up under the "Unassigned devices". The disk itself is healthy and readable.
disks.ini shows empty serial for Disk 4:
["disk4"]
device=""
id=""
idSb=""
status="DISK_NP_DSBL"
sizeSb="17578328012"
devs.ini shows the disk correctly under unassigned:
["dev1"]
name="dev1"
id="TOSHIBA_MG09ACA18TE_XXXXXXXXXXXX"
device="sdc"
transport="ata"
super.dat still contains the original serial number for Disk 4:
N+
Փ_i[)"[i\i0951-1666-AFCF-E731D93C0C97WDC_WUH721818ALE6L4_XXXXXXXXXXWDC_WUH721818ALE6L4_XXXXXXXXXX$ST8000VN004-2M2101_XXXXXXXX$_ST4000DM004-2U9104_XXXXXXXXOSHIBA_MG09ACA18TE_XXXXXXXXXXXX
with MG09ACA18TE_XXXXXXXXXXXX from the super.dat being the same serial number as in devs.ini.
When stopping the array and assigning the dev1 disk to Disk 4, it still does not recognize it as the same drive and instead starts rebuilding the array.
