    If you have an LSI and 8TB Ironwolf drive(s) model ST8000VN004 probably best to stick with v6.8 for now, there have been multiple users with issues that can result in disable disks after upgrading to v6.9, on the other hand if anyone using them upgraded without issues please post back. 

    I've got a ST8000VN0022 on an LSI (LSI 9223-8i/IBM M1115), and I haven't had any issues whatsoever. Updated to 6.9 when it came out 6 days ago.

    Upgrade from 6.1.9 to 6.2.0 went wrong - Disks unmountable, parity drive unknown

    Hello everyone

     

    As I saw that the 6.2.0 stable release was here, I wanted to update my unRAID server. As per the recommended way I check for updates in the plugin screen and decided to first apply the updates of all other plugins to minimise compatibility issues. I then updated the unRAID OS itself.

     

    In the update of unRAID OS itself, somehow something went wrong. I don't have a screenshot and can't recall it specifically but I saw an error which mentioned problems copying a file (using copy() function).

    With the update applied badly, almost all screens in the webGUI were now blank. Not blank in a total white page, but blank like this:

    I figured this was not a big deal, as I could just do a manual update. I downloaded the zipfile from the site and pasted the contents into the existing flashdrive. By wanting to solve the problem in a few minutes and thus moving too quickly, I thereby erased my config. While this means a bit of work to set everything up again, I know this is no reason to panic because I still have my data.

     

    Next, I went about setting everything up again. This time being more cautious and not fully knowing what to do I turned to google and found out my first problem: I don't know which drive was the parity drive.

    From what I found this didn't seem to be a problem as long as I was careful and didn't assign a data drive to the parity slot. As such, I thought I could isolate the parity drive by assigning my data drives to the slots and seeing what was on it, if it would mount at all.

    Working this out, I ran into my 2nd problem: 3 of my 4 drives (one of which is parity, yet undetermined) are reported as 'unmountable' by unraid.

     

    That's the point where I'm at and google (and the forums) aren't giving me a clear idea on what to try next. From what I could gather though, the situation doesn't seem all that bad and can be saved.

    Can someone guide me through the required steps and get my server up and running again?

    I have not attached any logs and/or diagnostics yet, as I'm unsure which are needed to troubleshoot this situation. Any system info you need or logs you'd like to see, I'll be happy to provide it.

     

    TLDR:

    - Upgrade from 6.1.9 -> 6.2.0 went wrong

    - Did manual update, but overwrited all files, effectively erasing existing config

    - Have no backup of config and as such, no idea of previous disk arrangement (don't know which drive is parity)

    - Have not formatted disks or assigned drives to parity slot, so data (as well as parity) should be intact

    - 3 of 4 disks show up as unmountable

     

    How do I move forward?
