Hey everyone, so i did a few dumb things today
the SATA cable on one of my hard drives snapped off so i had to remove the drive. when i got into unraid I was unable to start the array because one of the data disks was missing and i couldnt unassign the disk.
i googled how to shrink array, i came to this guide and did up to step 7. this is where i realized i should have read up on this a bit more, i can start the array now but my parity drive says 'all existing data on this device will be overwritten when array is started'. the data disk does nopt have any messages but now im worried that i will have to format it when i start the array.
am i out of luck or can i still save my data? also, i have my appdata on a ssd, will this data be safe or is it also gone?
I have the following
1 x 14 TB parity drive
1 x 6 TB data disk
1 x 6 TB data disk (removed)
the parity drive is new, just installed a few days ago and the parity was rebuilt like yesterday, idk if that matters at all.
