ok, so everything is back up and running. Thanks for the help.

that was before i did all the steps listed above. i had to kill it to format the disk

ok, so i might have done this in the wrong order or missed a step... i formatted disk11 I got the disk recognized and with my dock i copied the files from the old disk to the newly formatted disk11 i guess after the format and file copy i assumed it would work, but the disk is still showing as emulated. i stopped the array, but if i start it again it will start trying to rebuild. Should i have disabled parity? diagnostics-20260403-1140.zip

ok, ill give that a go. i think i have a dock laying around here somewhere. thanks, ill update soon

so format disk11 and use unbalance to move the data over from the unassigned device? i dont have an open slot on the server, it has to be done within the array right? or shrink the array and then add drive to new open slot?

the original disk11 is intact and has disk 11 info on it. i went from a 4tb to 6tb. no backups, this is just a PLEX server, its not critical information, so i will just be losing time and bandwidth to get it the data back. i just didnt want to, if i didnt need to

xfs_repair -vL /dev/md11p1

12 was the proper one. the one i was initially trying to upgrade. 11 was the one i pulled accidentally and reinserted diagnostics-20260402-1110.zip

I have been dealing with this for about a week. I am pretty sure i have read everything on this forum and others that deal with this topic. this is all started when i was upgrading capacity on several disks. on the last one, i pulled the wrong drive and after realizing it was the wrong one (~10mins), i put it back into the server and removed the right one. i replaced the proper one and started the rebuild. both drives (disk 11 and disk 12) were having to be rebuilt, which i didnt think it was an issue. after the rebuild (~3 days) the disks became "unmountable no filesystem", so the troubleshooting began. what i have done... disk 11 a. rebuild b. ran GUI XFS check file system Check (never found primary or secondary superblocks) (~12hours) c. ran GUI XFS check file system FIX (never found primary or secondary superblocks) (~12hours) d. ran console XFS repair with -L to try again (never found primary or secondary superblocks) (~12hours) Right now... no SMART errors system is in maintenance mode system is emulating disk 11 (still in unmountable no filesystem state) system is running GUI check file system Check on emulated drive i have the original drive but it is smaller capacity and the system wont accept it because of the smaller size disk 12 a. rebuild b. ran GUI XFS check file system Check (found errors) (~5mins) c. ran GUI XFS check file system FIX (fixed and became mountable) (~10mins) At this point, what can i do? is disk11 just corrupt and SOL? diagnostics-20260402-0747.zip
