The issue has been resolved. Both the parity drives are online now after removing and readding and rebuilding (though unnessary as the mod mentioned).

Will do, right now the parity rebuild is at 40%, might complete in another 10-12 hrs, before i reboot i will grab the diags (just in case).

For now i have attempted the normal procedure to re-enable a drive, which is to start the array with it unassigned, stop the array, assign the drive back and let it rebuild parity. It shows both the parity drives are online, and rebuilding, i will let ya'll know if it fails and the parity goes back to disabled mode.

I have two parity drives, one of the drives shows that its disabled. However the disk is spinning and is warm when i pull the drive out from the hotswappable bay. I have a Supermicro 24Bay SAS3 based chassis, so its a sas3 card, no cables attached to the drives. attaching diagnostics and the screenshots. tower-diagnostics-20231018-2221.zip

Will thanks for looking into it. ANy tips on disk cooling? I have a 4U supermicro chassis with 24 bay. The chassis has Norco Fans. Any suggestions, i would like to bring the heat down, some disks get hot upto 62 degs.

A disk in my arrow shows thumbs down with an error, but i ran the extended SMART test, and at the end it shows no errors found. I am attaching the logs with this thread, kindly let me know if i should change the disk before they crash on me HUH721008ALN600_7SHGAXPU-20230419-0120.txt

I just wanted to report back here. This issue has been resolved. I was able to add the unsupported disks back to the array and mount the disk without running any checks. The filesystem is back online, and no files on the drives are lost or curropt.

Here it is

Can we try a repair? I have checked quite a lot of files and movies in these disks and they all look good. What is the process to repair these two drives? I see some command based options on the forum, how do i find the drive names as mentioned here (sdd1) or is there a GUI based repair option? Reboot, force an XFS_Repair of the new drive (/dev/sdd) with: xfs_repair -L /dev/sdd1

I think i got confused and missed a few steps and instructions, i have much data on these drives, about 72tb, hence been so confused and scared.

let me explain. Disk13 was unassigned, but not disk12 you were asking me for to run xfs repair on disk12 hence i did not move it to unassigned drives. Now the Array build is complete. I have pulled another diag report. Please see attached. tower-diagnostics-20221223-1346.zip

Cool thanks, i will post updates tomorrow after parity build is complete. Much appreciate your help here.

I had Disk13 as unassigned, but disk12 was not. I just brought all the disk back to run the diagnostics again.. and its running parity now. What should be my next steps? wait for parity rebuild to complete, and then run diag?

I have started the array to pull the diag report now parity is being synced, says data rebuild in progress. Diag logs attached below. tower-diagnostics-20221222-1027.zip

How do i convert Disk 12 to unassigned disk? all i can see is the option of no device in the drop down.
