Hello All, I am trying to replace a drive that died. I removed the dead drive. Loaded the new drive. Choose the new drive and I get error: Wrong so I choose no device and or the new drive and reboot hoping it flushes the info on the old drive so I can pick the new drive and rebuild array. It still states it's Missing? I cannot seem to get rid of the old drive info? What can I do to get rid of the old drive info or what steps can I take to resolve this issue?

So it would be safer just to add the 10TB to Disk 2 and rebuild array then add another for parity 2 and rebuild again? Correct?

What I did was accidentally choose disk 2 instead of 2nd parity for the 10TB drive. I was trying to add a second parity. Is there any way to remove that from the Unraid configuration? I believe the original drive was 4TB.

Hi Jorge, Disk 2 is just unassigned. I was going to add another disk later to fill that slot. I tired to use a 4TB / 6TB / 8TB drives and it would not allow me saying it needed a same or larger drive. Can you tell me where to look to see what size drive was used in that slot in the diag? Thank you for your insight it is greatly apprecaited.

Hi Jorge, Here is the information you requested. Thank you tower-diagnostics-20211231-0936.zip

Hello All, I removed an old drive that had write errors and replaced a new HDD using this process: https://wiki.unraid.net/Replacing_a_Data_Drive When I bring up UNRAID I cannot start the array because it thinks the disk is missing. Unraid is cacheing the old drive. When I point Disk 16 to the new drive it just says Wrong. I cannot start the array due to Error: Too many wrong or missing disks! If I replace the old drive again I can start the array but Disk 16 is unmountable for some reason hence the replacement. Any insight as to how I can resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. I am so worried about blowing up my array after all the time and effort over the years I have put into this NAS….uggg
