I upgraded my drive size for the first data disk in my array (i have 2 parity disks) and it says the device is being "emulated" currently. However the disk `/mnt/disk1` is actually empty and any files that were on that disk are missing. Are the files lost for good or is there something I can do to recover them? The data rebuild is currently 40% of the way done. I've still got the old disk - so worst case I wonder if I can mount it with unassigned devices and copy over the files? The filesystem is XFS encrypted though.

The go file is a file which is run when the server is booted. It exists at `/boot/config/go`

You could probably put that in the go file.

This will make for some great CTF challenges

Awesome thanks!

Hey! I'm going to be moving my current setup from a desktop tower to a rackmount server. Part of the switch involves me going from using SATA ports to using a Mini-SAS backplane (still the same SATA drives). I'm hoping to just drop the drives in and not really need to re-configure much. For refrence I'll be getting the Norco 4224 with the LSI 9305-24i Will the drives be detected based on their serial numbers or is there some preparation I should be doing in advance?

I rebooted into my bios to see if the drives were detected there. Thankfully, they were. After that I rebooted back into the OS. Started the array in maintaincence mode and all of my disks were detected properly. The parity disk was showing that it was disabled so I followed the steps at https://wiki.unraid.net/Troubleshooting#Re-enable_the_drive to re-enable & re-build the parity. Currently the re-build is occurring but it looks like all of my data is still intact. Is there anything else I should be doing in the mean time? Perhaps this was related to the onboard controller of the motherboard. I've exported the diagnostics file (after rebooting) though I suspect they are useless now. I should have thought of that before.. Since things are pointing to my motherboard's controller do you have any suggestions of test/diagnostics to run on it to ensure it was just a blip and not an ongoing error?

I woke up this morning to my log directory full and hundreds of read/write errors across all of my disks. I immediately stopped all of my docker containers. What would be my next best course of action? I stopped the array and restarted it and now I'm seeing all of the disks are unmountable: There were no power outages or brownouts as far as I'm aware of (plus I've got the server on a proper UPS which should handle that). I'm thinking all hope is lost here but if anyone has any ideas I'm all ears. The disks are connected to the onboard controller.
