Thanks. I'll do that. Do I just attach the whole zip file? That seems to make the most sense. storage-diagnostics-20240126-1434.zip

Hi all. I think I've managed to bugger up replacing a failed disk in my array. I use a single parity drive and Had a drive fail and its contents emulated. The documentation I found on replacing the drive was pretty varied so I followed as many common instructions as I could, but I think I've buggered it up and now I need to know how to fix it if you can help. Here are the steps I took. 1. Stop the array. 2. Shut it down. 3. Replaced the drive. I had multiple slots open so I just picked one and pulled the other. 4. Rebooted. 5. Started the array. This is where I think I screwed up because the disk number is different for the new disk and the old disk still still shows as emulated. 6. Formatted the new drive. 7. Preformed Read Check. Now the new drive shows it has some data on it, but very little. The old drive still shows as emulated and no rebuild has taken place. I read later that the new drive should be assigned to the same disk number as the one replaced, but now I can't do that because if I stop the array, unassign the new drive and try to assign it to the other disk number slot the array won't start. It says there are too many missing disks. So now I guess I just need to know how I can remove the new drive again so I can assign it to the emulated slot and start a rebuild. Like I said though, the documentation on this is pretty varied with different sites showing different processes. Even the unraid manual documentation didn't easily outline all steps. I tried following that, but it didn't say anything about assigning the new drive to the same slot. That or I missed it somehow. I'm an unraid newb so baby steps would be appreciated if possible. TIA.
