- Closed
- Urgent
One 4TB disk died so I've performed the following steps to replace it:
- Turned off unraid
- Removed defective drive
- Added new 8TB drive
- Started unraid
- Replaced the drive in unraid webui
- Data rebuild started
Now at this point it said that the filesystem needs to be formatted for the disk to be used. So I clicked, checked the box and formatted the drive.
The rebuild is still ongoing however no files are visible from the "emulated" drive. I can further confirm this by opening plex and choosing a file, seeing "unavailable" and confirming that the file is not present under "/mnt/user/(...)".
Is the file going to be available _after_ the rebuild as right now it seems that I've lost terabytes of data with that format for the filesystem that was prompted. My understanding was that the rebuild would write over the data when the disk was formatted for use.
