Ok, thank you, Im at where I am at. I appreciate you taking your time with me.

No it wasn't formatted in Unraid. I thought it would do it as I triggered the rebuild which it seems I didn't do correctly either. Can I redo the process over? Is there a place to point me to do it correctly?

It was a spare drive that was formatted on a PC to clear it and have it as a spare for whatever. I did no formatting when it was put in the array. I was in a bit of a panic when I tried to get things back. I should have taken a breath and... is there anything I can do from this point, or just deal with the consequences?

It was an empty drive.

These are the steps I followed to replace the drive. It took about 2 days for it to be all set, but the drive was empty when it said it was finished.

I have a 16 TB Parity drive and I lost a drive from the array that was 8TB. I replaced the drive assigned the new disk to the old drive space, but it seems that the drive did not rebuild from the previous drive. Is there anything I can do to get it back? I have attached my diagnostics. tower-diagnostics-20250914-1904.zip

Thank you for your reply. I did not know there was a Krusader thread. I will do a search. When I am in Krusader I cannot see the shares I have set up in Unraid. I set up a SMB share on the main page of Unraid. Example A I then set it up in the Krusader App with a path to it. Example B This will work flawlessly until I have to reboot. Even though the paths remain after a reboot in the respective settings. When I have to reboot the system and I go back to Krusader and go to the same file path there are no folders from the share. Example C. If I delete the settings from Unraid and Krusader several times then for some reason it will start working again until I reboot, then I have to go through all the hassle again to try to get it to work. Please let me know if I am not being clear. I will also find the Krusader thread and post it there if I am making any kind of sense at all.

I had to shut my Unraid Server down because of loss of power. It was shut down properly. When I bring it back up, my SMB shares don't work in Krusader. All the paths I had previously set up are there, but it seems the only way to get things back is to continually delete the Unassigned mount on the main menu, and then delete the path I have setup in the Krusader menu multiple times until it works. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong that I keep loosing this connection to my other SMB? I have the same issue with USB drives I have connected and built out. This has been an ongoing issue for over a year. I asked once before with no replies. Am I not following protocol when asking? Or do I need to add more information? Please let me know, I would really like to get this resolved. Other than getting data on my Unraid server from other places it has worked incredibly well.

I have build several of the paths out for different usb drives to off load data to my Unraid server. Initially they all worked perfect as expected. However now when I connect them I can see the drive, but when I click into it, it doesn't show any of the flies just a blank screen. Have I done something wrong? I have attached a picture of one of the paths to see if I have it wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

doh, sorry I got it, I had it under remote rather than disk. Thanks!

I must still have something not quite right, I can get to the drive but it won't show me the contents. I have connected it to my other server without issue, but the USB shows none of the contents.

Is this what you mean by settings?

Could it be that it's a mac formatted drive?

When I built the server some time ago I had this set up and now I lost it. I have the usb mounted under the main window in Unraid, but when I load up Krusader I cannot find the mounted drive. I have searched and searched and cannot remember how to do this. I do have the community applications plugin installed and current. But I know I am missing something. Sorry to ask such a base question. Thanks for any help you can give.

Thanks again to all that helped. It is solved and back up with the new drive. I marked the last comment as solution, although this was pretty much a thread of solutions
