Hello all,
I've tried looking through the forums here for similar situations but I have been unable to find any.
I have a data disk that failed that needs to be replaced and I have already swapped out the failed drive with its replacement. The trouble is that at the same time, the 4 Bay USB enclosure I had these disks in also failed (I know, USB enclosures aren't recommended) and I decided to move all of the drives to my server box instead of having them external.
The trouble I now face is twofold.
Following the WIKI steps here: https://wiki.unraid.net/Replacing_a_Data_Drive, at step 2 I accidentally unassigned the wrong disk from the disk configuration. I should have unassigned disk 3, but instead have unassigned disk 1 and have rebooted.
Since I have now moved the disks from the external enclosure to the server itself - connected via a PCI SAS card / mini SAS to SATA cables - the drives now show up as something different due to what I think is the "Display world-wide-name in device ID" setting and the move from enclosure to server. As you can see before, all of the disks were appended with the same number while in the enclosure and are now appended with their SN as expected.
So to summarize - 1. Disk and enclosure failed. 2. unassigned wrong disk, 3. disks now show up under different IDs, 4. The failed drive - Disk 3, a 4TB Seagate - has been replaced with an 8TB Seagate.
I thought about just making a new config, but in this case I can't do that because I have a drive to rebuild. Does anybody have any suggestions for what I can do in this situation? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
