the problem is that I had started a rebuild on drive 6 when it all went to shit. as it was in the process of rebuilding, I assume that one is toast and unrecoverable?

I'm back online but will not have drives to begin the fix until after lunch as I need to buy some new ones. Have I mentioned how fantastic it is that you are taking the time to talk me through this and try to help? This is so appreciated, you have no idea.

I'm not. they are old drives from various systems that I pullied data from. They're more like filler in my drive cages to balance airflow than anything else now. Plan is to use these as unassigned devices and periodically copy crucial files and docs, hten pull them and ship them off-site to the in-laws, basically rotating a backup copy of family photos etc.

10-4 docker disabled. I saw on the reiserFS but figured I'd get to that after fixing things and getting stable. SSD drives are cheap now so no issue replacing

Nopes but right now they're all offline as the array is spun down but only the lost drives had smart warnings

I have the drives i had originally replaced and will test them after but they are 3 TB drives (smaller than what I now need to replace/repair). Also they were drives 7 and 8 so no help for 5 and 6 which decided to crap out on me

Nopes, going shopping today. Will pick up new drives as my drive sparing was consumed by replacing drive 7 and 8. Will pick up 3 new drives as well as new SATA cables (apologies for tardy reply. Was offline dealing with kids who lost their plex )

I have no issue replacing those 2 drives. I mean, I guess I have horrible luck (although we did have some wicked power outages and storms recently. This will make 5 drives replaced in a week. I may as well grab drives and sata cables and replace the lot. I detest the current SATA cables However, it leaves me with the question of: Iis there a way to force disk 7 as good (I am almost positive it is) so that I can rebuild disks 5 and 6? currently with 3 drives dead, I can't even begin corrective measures as I have invalid configuration (too many drives missing). This is where I'm stuck. How does one proceed to fix an array with too many drives gone off Thanks for the assistance

OK, so since I'm a panicky idiot. I rebooted before grabbing a diagnmediawhore-diagnostics-20230219-1302.zipostic and also posted before seeing the rules. Here is diagnostics however. Running Unraid Pro 6.11.5

to make matters worse this started as 2 redballs so I started rebuilding a drive when another dropped so I have a drive which I know is scrapped. (cause I panicked and rebooted everything via shutdown) However, is there a way to get the other 2 drives be known as good and rebuild that one?

Hi all, Been running unraid forever but fairly green. Starting last week, Ive had drives start reddballing. I assumed bad drives and just replaced them and rebuilt them. Now however I looked into my server this AM when I thought all was good as I t was all finally green and working last night. seemed to be humming along perfectly. Jow however, I have 3 drives redballed so that's beyond rebuild capability of dual parity. How can I proceed? IS there a way to force it to recognize these drives as good to minimize data loss? I am not sure how to proceed.
