Ok, the screenshot in light mode has (3) 4TB drives listed. Those drives WERE my cache pool. Since I could not get the (4) 24TB drives in the Array to spin up due to the Cache pool having missing drives, I deleted it. As I know that Cache drives are not necessary for this to work. However, I still can't get the 3 previous cache drives to be recognized by Unraid. When I am 100% positive that they are functional. The only thing I can think of is that the 3D-Printed mounting brackets for the drive bays aren't letting them seat. But the drives are flush and click into place. dionysus-diagnostics-20250203-2339.zip

In my first post with the screenshots, I stated that I had deleted the pool devices as they were not recognizing... Dumb move, but I could not activate the array with them attached. After having my machine sit for 40 min, I now have the array active, but still can't detect the other 3 SSD's that were in the pool. I have the 2 18 TB drives that I moved data from and the onboard NVMe

All good, I am a lil slow sometimes.

Also a screenshot of Main - Array Operations <<< Unsure what screen you are asking for.

The Image in Light mode is the original Cache setup. As you can see, they are not showing at all. The only reason I attached the drives to a Windows machine was to ensure that they functioned. As soon as I could see them, I removed them. I removed the cache pool as I couldnt get the array to start with it missing. So even now I cant get it to spin up.

So I am a complete noob, and I am fairly certain that I have lost my data. But I am in hopes that I am wrong, and you all can help me salvage 15 years worth of my life. I recently moved my HTPC to Unraid. I wanted to ensure that I did not lose my movie collection. After several days waiting for parity to successfully complete, I rebooted my machine as I needed to address some mounting issues with my SSD cache. Upon powering the machine back up, I no longer had access to my cache pool. When I pulled my drives and look at them via Windows disk manager, they show partitions and I can access them… As much as you can access BTFS in windows. I attempted to get them to populate multiple times with no luck. So I read on another form post that someone had luck with doing a new config… So I did…. Now I still can't see my cache drives… and I can't get my array to spin up. I am fairly certain that I did that part right, as I did “Preserve current assignments." Any help is greatly appreciated, I have been working on this project for over a month and have moved from HexOS, to TrueNAS, to Unraid. I want the reliability of raid, but at this point the complexity and my lack of knowledge are shining through. I REALLY don't want to go back to windows as I have grown to despise it, but I am not sure what to do. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.dionysus-diagnostics-20250203-2237.zip
