Good evening
Unraid V6.12.9
So I have a 7 x 3TB disk array with 1 x 3TB parity and 1 x 250gb cache.
One of my drives failed yesterday (D6). So I did an extended smart report (attached) and because it was giving a WRITE FPDMA QUEUED error, I thought I'd try stopping the array, reseating it, un-assigning the failed drive, starting the array, stopping the array again, reassigning the "failed" drive and starting the array again.
This failed 49% though, so I was in the process of getting a different drive when another drive completely failed (D3) and with the server being in the cellar and me having to lift a hatch and crawl to the server, I thought the drive must have just been having a paddy so I lazily and stupidly rebooted the server. Now I (expectedly) can't start the array as I have 2 drives and only 1 parity.
Am I correct in saying I need to go to Tools -> New Config -> Preserve current assignments -> All -> Done and then un-assigning the failed disks (D4 + D6) and starting the array again, then after the new drives have precleared fine, adding them into the array?
I know I'll have lost all the data that was on D4+D6 but c'est la vie, there's nothing I can do about it now.
TIA.
