I will set it up Just installed Fix Common problems - Macvlan and Bridging has been found . In Red Nothing on the SMART warnings from the Dashboard page Parity check will be done soon

I don't know then, but I do have all my data. How can I check to see if the array is working correctly ?

I'm 100% sure that disk 5 went on disk 1 and 2. Disk 5 had about 400 gb before. How do I know that the array are working properly ? Thanks for all the help

Was going through the files and I see everything is there. The only thing I see on the array is that disk 1 and disk 2 has more gb used and disk 5 has only 27.9gb. Looks like that the old data from disk 5 went on disk 1 and 2 when disk 5 was formatted. Should I do a parity check every week? and add a second parity disk for the extra protection. This would give me the safety of 2 drive failures (including parity drives) ? Thank you for the clarification

Being this is new to me. Looks like the system runs in raid 5, because I was trying to upgrade disk 1 with a bigger drive I had disk 5 fail. I put back disk 1 and it repaired missing files. When I replaced disk 5 with new disk I have formatted it. Does this mean that it is no longer raid 5 and that disk 5 is separate for the array? Or I'm safe from anther drive failure?

Old disk 5 that died had data, New disk 5 that has been installed and formatted.

Just new to all this stuff. Is there a way to fix this or it will need a complete set up?

So now if a disk dies, I have no way to rebuild?

what happens if it was format? I didn't lose data, not from what I see. I guess that there is no back-up drive ? Can this be fixed ?

Disk 5 is my new disk, I still have all my data, When I tried to upgrade disk 1 , disk 5 died. I reinstalled disk 1 and and have all my data. When I installed the new disk 5 its unmountable.

It’s not showing me the format option.

How do you do that ?

I have this same problem. Got everything working but its showing disk 5 unmountable. After trying to run xfs_repair -v /dev/md5 I get fatal error.
