Disk5 is still part of the array, as a fresh data disk (I formatted it once the data was restored form it to my other spare disk).The BTRFS restore was done to a specific disk (disk7), my "old" parity2 drive after taking it from parity2 slot and placing it as data disk 7. I'll post a screenshot when I am back on my home network Thanks!

So everything seems to be back data wise, to get the once disk5 (previously corrupted one I've moved data off) as my 2n'd parity, would I do it via new config? Also would I set mark parity as valid when doing this or let it rebuild parity? Thanks, J

Hey! I'm in the process of upgrading my UPS and moving to a rackmounted system. I am looking to purchase the Dell UPS H928N and I am curious as to if it works with unraid via it's built in USB conenction, much like my APC one does. Has anyone ran this UPS, or another Dell one and has had it working with unraid for automatic shutdowns? Thanks!

Thanks again, I'll update when it's all done. J

Thant's a huge relief, I'll do that now. Side question, during the restore sometimes it says it is looping on a file and gives me an y/N/a option, I have been doing Y and testing the file and all seems fine, is there a way to get it to just to yes for everything?

Hi @johnnie.black The 2nd option has beenr unning for a while now and all seemed good, data being recovered at 5TB so far out of the 8TB that existed on there. Just had an unexpected power outage and my UPS didn't kick in for long enough causing the server to reboot. Is there any way to resume the restore or do I have to wipe the recovered 5TB and start again? Thanks

Will do, attached are my current diags Thanks alexandria-diagnostics-20180208-2351.zip

Hi @johnnie.black update to the situation. Parity check completed and corrected errors, tested some media from drive 5 and it seemed OK, one or two not working but I don't know if they ever worked, or if this rebuilding messed it up. Attempted to do the btrfs scrum like you suggested but it didn't seem to run, so i tried it on other drives and it ran fine. Thinking it may be a temp error I rebooted my server and upon boot was greeted by the unmountable: no file system error for drive 5 again I find it odd that it is reporting this after successfully playing media from it so presumably the FS was OK (ish) before the reboot. DO you have any possible advice, or is it seeming like a reformat and redo the FS for disk5? Thanks, J

Thanks so much johnnie! You've saved my array. Just doing a parity check now and indeed there are lots of sync errors corrected. I'll update this thread when all is corrected to list my final steps for anyone else that has this issue :0

Okay all files seem to be back. Time to do a parity check to lock all this in. Anything more you suggest I do to make sure all is running well?

Well, this is a turn of events I didn't see happening. Seems everything is back to normal. Just going to check some files I know where missing before. Fingers crossed!

Looks bad, this is the output. Is this going to be a reformat 5 and just restore data from my other backups job?

Damn, will do. thanks

My array is running in btrfs, is there an equivalent command for that?
