Hello, all. So I spent the better part of yesterday evening (3/26) uploading data to my server for a project I'm doing. I had been experiencing trouble with my internet connection due to ISP issues that persisted through to this morning. I know my data was intact as of 8:00AM today (3/27). Then, this morning, I rebooted my routers (I have two- Comcast's in bridge mode and mine, an old Dell server running OpnSense) and not long after, discovered that EVERYTHING I'd put on the unraid server since yesterday afternoon was gone. I have a hard time believing that a loss of network connectivity would destroy data that had been in place all night, but it's the only proximate event I know of. Now, it's worth noting that my array does have a disabled drive, due to what I'm pretty sure is a bad SAS cable, but that issue predates this one and I've been able to upload files without them disappearing. In fact, 3 of my drives are basically empty. Diagnostics are attached below. Can anyone help me figure out what happened and if the data is recoverable? balor-diagnostics-20240327-1058.zip

Looks like that did it! Thank you so much!

Giving that a try now- thanks, trurl! Parity sync is underway- I'll post again here when it is done, one way or the other.

Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble with my Cisco C220 M3 Unraid server. The parity drive shows as "disabled." I've tried re-seating the drives, Blowing away the configuration on Unraid and setting it up again, even swapping out the RAID card it came with for a Dell Perc H310 flashed to IT mode... nothing seems to be working. If I try to reassign another drive to be the parity drive, Unraid flags the disabled drive as "wrong" when reassigned, and won't let me start the array. It won't let me start the array if I leave it unassigned, either. I've attached my diagnostic report below- any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. lexington-diagnostics-20230516-1049.zip
