Thank you @JorgeB @trurl for your support. The content of all drives are viewable, the lost+found are minimal, any lost content can be restored again. The used space looks almost similar, around 1TB less. Unrelated question: Is it possible to add an (xfs) drive with existing content to an array of the same file system (xfs) without losing the content of the new drive? I'm aware that the parity has to be rebuild again. I'm thinking about copying the data to a local xfs drive instead of transferring them through the network. tower-diagnostics-20260706-1953.zip

Done, it didn't ask for -L Can I run the array in normal mode now? Disk 1 xfs_repair status

Noted, will check that. Should I run the repair on disk 1 without -n and with -L when requested?

Hi JorgeB, this is the xfs_repair status of disk 1 Disk 1 xfs_repair status You're right, I can browse my files now in disk 7 and noticed the lost+found folder. Which is a good sign.

It was emulating the last time on normal mode. Since I unassigned it, this is the first time I started the array in normal mode.

Attached, thanks. tower-diagnostics-20260706-1550.zip

disk 2 - L.txt disk 7 - L.txt Done - L for both. Logs are attached. What should be done next? Thank you.

Please find attached both xfs_repair reports. disk 2.txt disk 7.txt

Thank you for your response JorgeB. Should I start the array in normal mode first? Should I keep disk 1 as unassigned?

Hi all. I would appreciate your help. 2 of my drives are disabled (Disk 1, and Disk 7), and I've 2 parity drives. Disk 1 was disabled for sometime, and the data was emulated. But when disk 7 got disabled, the content of disk 7 where disappeared, although the status is (Disabled, content emulated). When I tried to browse disk 7, I got "Invalid path" or something close to that. Could be a file system corruption. I've unassigned disk 1 and tried to assign a larger drive (18TB), then discovered that it's not possible, as my parity is 8TB. The current status is "unassigned". Since unassigned and disconnect disk 1, I have only started the array in "Maintenance mode" once only. I didn't start it in normal mode. After starting the array in "Maintenance mode", I tried to "Check Filesystem Status" of disk 7 with and without -n. The repair button didn't appear. Didn't do anything else. Q: What is the best way to proceed with minimal data loss? I'm moving my data to the new Unraid server, and will do a new config for this server. So rebuilding the drives in not really important unless necessary. Thank you. tower-diagnostics-20260704-0423.zip ST8000VN004-3CP101_WWZ2J8M4-20260704-0245 disk1 (sdi) - DISK_DSBL.txt

Does Disk 2 has any signs of failing that required replacement? Or rebuilding the same disk is enough? Thanks.

Thanks JorgeB. The extended SMART test had read failure. It didn't pass the 30% (Attached) tower-smart-20260516-1735.zip

Hi all, I'm getting read error in "Disk 1" and "Disk 2" got disabled. While copying some data from the array, the server suddenly shutdown (2 times) I would appreciate your suggestion wither I should rebuild the same disabled disk again (Disk 2), or replace it with a new drive. The replacement will be a 18TB as I don't have a spare 8TB. The first diagnostics is directly after booting up the server after the unclean shutdown (20260514), and the second one is recent (20260516). Thank you in advance. tower-diagnostics-20260514-1759.zip tower-diagnostics-20260516-1056.zip

It worked. Thanks JorgeB

Tried the safe mode. Same issue
