Got my data back using some free software I found on this sub Free XFS File Recovery Software. Thanks for all the help trurl, I actually learned a lot. Backup your server, parity isn't a backup.

I appreciate the encouragement and the assistance. I should have been more patient waiting for your response but was on a time crunch. I'll let you know if I was able to recover any data.

all of it was.

i don't have a backup.

I should have waited for you, yes it is mounted. and has only 87gb on it now not 3ish tbs.

i should have copied the data over while it was unassigned, really bummed about that decision.

well, i took disk1 out of the array and into unassigned. formated disk 3 cause it didnt have any data. never formated disk1. I am assuming when i moved it back to the array it started doing a data-rebuild of the "emulated" disk 1 which had no data...

i think i did upload old diagnostics skynet-diagnostics-20240129-2033.zip

I didn't new config, I stopped the array and moved the disk to unassigned, the xfs repair gui worked, i saw the 3tb on the drive then stopped the array and moved the disk back to the array, started the array and noticed it was rebuilding data.

got you, i stopped the rebuild right away and moved disk1 to unsassigned.

i saw the 3ish tb on the drive when i had it in unassigned devices , moved it to the array and now there is nothing...

yes, disk 3 had no contents so i am not concerned with that one.

used the the webUI, it fixed the file system. put it back in the array and now it is doing a data-rebuild. should i let it do that or is it overwriting all the old data?
