Thanks! I know its a long shot, but is there anyway my docker configs and all are saved on these drives, or do i have to get set that all up again?

I have already been through many if the posts that revolve around recovery after a corrupt boot drive. My lesson has been learned and I have been shamed appropriately. So far, I haven't seen anything that pertained to my specific issue, so I am looking for some assistance. I have recreated my boot drive and gotten back into unRAID. I followed some instructions to mount all my drives as data drives and whatever doesn't mount is my parity drive. Technically I have 4 drives in my system. 1TB SSD (Pool), 2 8TB drives, 1 3TB drive. When I assigned the 3 drives in question both 8TB drives mounted and the 3TB did not. But it obviously can't be the parity drive because it is too small. With both 8TB drives mounted, my shares are loaded and appear to be complete. I believe what happened is that my previous array just consisted of 1 data drive (8TB) and 1 parity drive (8TB). Now it seems I have 2 mirrored drives. Is that possible, and if so does it matter which one I assign as parity now? I think the 3TB drive was actually a shucked drive out of a previous system that remained unassigned in the previous array, but to be honest my system was on autopilot so long I can't be positive.

I'm working to recover my array and my whole setup after a corrupted boot drive. Don't shame me, lesson learned! I had 3 drives and a pool drive. It was obvious that my SSD was the pool drive, and I added all drives as data drives to look for the unmountable drive. Interestingly, I have 2 8TB drives and a 3TB drive. My system has been on autopilot so long I really have no idea how things were arranged, but I assigned everything as a data drive to see what was mountable. The 3TB came back as non-mountable, but it can't be the parity drive because it's too small. Both 8TB appeared to mount and all my shares show up on both drives. Is it correct to assume that I essentially had a mirrored setup and one of the 8TB was data, and one was parity, so now they basically are mirrored and I can assign either as data and parity? My only guess is that the 3TB drive was something I shucked as an experiment,.but never actually assigned it. Bottom line, am I safe to assign either 8TB disk as data and the other as parity? I'm treating the 3TB as trash. Or am I better off just buying a 16GB and assigning that as a new parity drive, but then will it just be backing up 2 drives that are already mirrors of eachother?
