New config to reactivate disabled drive after repair
Thank you for your patience, here is the diag folder. Should my next step be to format and re-add the replacement 4tb drive? ajpcloud-diagnostics-20240525-0837.zip

I'm sorry, I'm really new at the unraid troubleshooting. Where do I get diagnostics to post?

New config to reactivate disabled drive after repair
If I attempt this, do I risk losing more than just info on the 4tb drive? And is the risk of loss the whole drive or just more recent files? I only have a layman's understanding of the parity protection functionality. I don't mind losing whatever the last things written to the 8tb drive were supposed to be, as it would just be movies/tv shows. Also, just to be clear. I would insert a 4tb replacement drive, go to new config and assign that drive to the missing 4tb slot. Start in maint mode, and check parity valid. This then makes system think ALL drives are OK? Then shut down, remove 4tb drive, and replace with different 4tb drive to start rebuilding?

New config to reactivate disabled drive after repair
So long story short, I fried all 5 HDDs in my system recently by send 12v down the 5v pins. Setup was: 1x 8tb HDD parity 3x 8tb HDD media 1x 4tb HDD personal files and cloud 2x 256gb SSDs for cache I have sent the 4tb drive to be repaired, but the shop doesn't sound confident in their abilities. On the 8tb drives, I decided to try soldering a jumper over the 5v fuse (confirmed to be damaged, so I assumed the drives were protected). And wouldn't ya know it, unraid recognized all 4x 8tb drives as installed and healthy. Plot twist. Before the fry, I was having issues with one of the 8tb media drives intermittently dropping out. I have reason to believe the molex to sata power adapter was to blame. Anyway, apparently this drive was set to 'disabled. Contents emulated' before the fry occurred. So now, the system sees that drive as installed and healthy, but still has the status as 'disabled. Contents emulated' AND the 4tb drive as 'Drive Missing. Disabled. Contents emulated. Is there a way I can tell Unraid that the 8tb drive is good to go and unchanged, then use parity to recover the 4tb drive? As a note, if this is successful I'll be replacing the 8tb drives 1 by 1 using parity as well, unless it would be faster to just move the data to new drives via a file transfer.
