Try to start the array with disk12 physically disconnected, but still assigned, then see if you can see the contents of disk12. When it shows missing disk, it should still allow you to start the array and emulate the missing disk. If you already tried that, it wasn't clear in your post. It looked like you unassigned and reassigned without starting the array. I not sure what was on disk12. I save everything using the high-water method and the server would decide which drive to save files to. It would still mount the emulated drive if it is not corrupted, so see if it mounts, even if it has no contents. Ok I disconnected the disk12 and booted up the server. It shows missing drive and to check the check box and hit start. I did that but disk12 still shows as unformatted and in windows explorer disk12 doesn't show up.

no i don't see disk12 at all. I went to \\tower and see all the shares and other disk listed but don't see disk12

Not sure if I did everything correctly, but I unassign disk12 then rebooted and it shows missing disk. I then reassign disk12 , reboot and it still shows as unformatted. My next option would be to run the reiserfsck correct?

I don't have any other syslog before the one that I posted. I have it hooked up to a ups but the server was off which I think because the ups ran out of battery. So to fix the unformatted drive 12 I should do a rebuild of the drive and if that doesn't work I should use the check disk file systems tool? Would it be ok to pull drive 12 and hook it up to another computer to see if I can pull the files off the drive to save elsewhere?

booting up the server today, disk12 shows up as unformatted. The unraid server has been running fine for the pass two years with no problems and nothing has been changed on it. I attached the syslog and am hoping someone can tell me to proceed. Thanks a lot. syslog.txt

I just finish my 2nd unraid with the same case. What are your thoughts on mounting the PS that way? Its better for cabling but the fan facing the case wall. I mounted mine with the fan facing the motherboard.
