I am a very new user to Unraid, only a few weeks since I started. I have been getting frustrated with my choice of such a small cache drive as it was initially intended just to be a boot drive. When I was setting my server up initially the installer suggested splitting the drive into the boot partition and then a data partition (which it named cache by default). I then learned later what the cache was and used it liberally, and have quickly seen the need for a larger drive. I bought a 2TB SATA SSD, and physically installed it tonight. I think this is when I made a series of mistakes. I shut down the array, changed the cache pool slots from 1 to 2, assigned the SSD to slot 2, then tried to start the array. I got an error saying flash 2 was missing identification, and then the system hung up never coming online. I had no option to shut down the array or restore it to its previous state. I panicked after some time and tried a reboot of the server (as that's typically the easiest way to solve things in the other contexts in life I interact with technology). Now the server boots and doesn't hang up, but I cannot start the array. Any time I try to do so I get a popup error saying and no matter what I do I can't seem to get the array back online. I found a few threads talking about this same error, and most of the solutions involved removing the pool and adding it again and the config imports and fixes itself. However, I don't seem to have that option for this pool! I'm assuming that's because it was set up as a partition on the boot drive. My only option is to erase the pool entirely, which is expressly described as deleting everything on the drives. This is obviously not ideal. Am I missing something obvious, or have I fucked up beyond repair due to ignorance and panicking? Below is the initial error I received that was the start of the issues, then the alert that showed up after rebooting, and attached is my diagnostics. The Patriot drive is the drive I initially had installed as the boot drive, and the TEAMGROUP drive is the newly installed drive. Event: Unraid Flash 2 error
