Rookie error. I ended up stopping the rebuild, removing the bad drive and starting again and seems to be going right now.

So long story short, i think i have made a very serious error with my array and need guidance to save it. I recently added a new MD1200 that came with drives and I added them onto the array. Went smooth, my server detected the drives and i went though the long process pre-clearing the drives. For whatever reason i mounted the drives forgetting that i was meant to replace 5 drives with newer higher capacity drives. I then proceeded to replace all drives by changing each drive to replace as no device then doing a new config so that i can swap the drives and reallocate back to my array. This went fine and it warned me that i would need to do a full rebuild of my parity which was fine but now i have all disks showing in the array but the parity rebuild is moving at kb/s and one disk (not one a replaced) is showing some errors. What’s my best move forward? Should i cancel the parity rebuild and swap this bad drive? mediaserver-syslog-20230425-1732.zip

So long story short, I have an unraid setup that has been stable and functioning without hiccups for over a year now and suddenly I think I have screwed the pooch big time. I was having issues updating to latest release of PMS, so I started looking into it and I read that someone has changed the repository to public. I thought, ok ill try that and if anything Ill just revert back. Well this didn't work and I was refused to re-install my docker service and subsequently all my containers. After this had finished, I went through and checked that all my containers were working and they were....except Plex. For some reason, it just wont start and the health status reports unhealthy. I have tried restarting and reinstalling, waiting and nothing. I have attached my diagnostic zip so hopefully someone can help me out. I'm worried because I don't want any of my Plex cache or settings to be affected. mediaserver-diagnostics-20220116-1506.zip
