The Story:
I have been working on this project for several months now and have made many mistakes including wrong type of boot drive, USB3 rather than USB2 plug, wrong LAN setup, bad LAN cables, not preclearing drives first (initially), set up shares which could only be accessed one at a time from windows machines, etc. I thought I had sorted things out and got the system stable when the largest array drive seemed to fail. It triggered an error message which I can't remember exactly and was no longer mounted. The drive listed as emulated. I followed some instructions from the internet for replacing a failed array drive and rebuilt to a new 8TB WD RED PRO drive. The rebuild seemed to work fine until it completed and the drive was listed as "Unmountable: Unsupported or no file system". I then did more research and found the links related to file system errors. Based on what I am reading I should have tried more steps before just rebuilding the drive. I had precleared the HDD that failed drive before I had started it up. The results of the file system check are attached along with the system log and the diagnostic zip file. The file system check is scary long so I decided to stop messing around and post here before doing anything else.
Some other things I did that may be issues include: I added a new cache drive at the same time I replaced the failed drive (since the case was open anyway). I didn't think this would affect anything but I don't really know. The new cache drive has the same "Unmountable: Unsupported or no file system" which is odd. I also clicked update on the plugins any time a message to do so popped up. Now I am thinking maybe I should have waited until I had stopped the array before clicking those.
I saw in another post there was a recommendation to reinstall the "failed" HDD and see if it can be mounted independent of the array. I have the disk available so that is an option.
