Exact same thing happened to me. It looks like it broke something with the replication, but I haven't been able to fix it yet. Any luck on your end?

Hi all, My USB drive recently failed (see this thread). Since then, my Cache drive goes into read only mode after a few days. This is the 2nd time it happened, the first I resolved it from a full reboot. I can't test rebooting it now since i'm 10 hours into a 14TB parity rebuild and preclear. I have a 1 TB cache drive that only has 250gb used. So there should be plenty of space. I ran the mover after my last restart too to ensure old data on there gets moved off. Attached are diags. Any ideas for things to check or how to resolve? Thanks tower-diagnostics-20200718-2159.zip

I got impatient and grew my confidence by ready more articles. I mapped all the drives according to the list above. Then started the array with the "parity is valid box" checked. My shares loaded right up. I then navigated to my CA USB backup and created a zip of all the contents. I then used the Unraid USB flash creator and reimaged my flash drive with the zip. Booted with the newly flashed drive, then once again remapped all my drives according list above. Now 100% back in business with all dockers and VMs loading straight up. Thanks for your help!!

I just found a program called UFS Explorer Raid Recovery. It allowed me to take an unraid drive, plug it into windows and view the contents. After parsing through 8 drives, I finally found DISK_ASSIGNMENTS.txt. So I now have a 100% accurate listing of my drive mappings. Should I still use your method and mount everything except the parity drives? Or should I include them now that I know what they are? What's the best way to take the back-up in the USB Backup folder and recreate my USB boot (do I just zip the folder and load it into the USB flash creator)?

I 100% know my cache drive. And I know my parity drives (but don't know if which was parity #1 and parity #2). I have 9 other drives, no clue their order.

I restarted Unraid today to find that it could no longer boot from my USB. I don't have a copy of my drive configuration. I'm at the part of this guide that says to make a post. I'm fairly certain I had CA Apps taking a back-up of my flash drive, but it saved them to the raid which is no longer accessible (...hindsight...). I've been trying to find a way to access my unraid disks from my Windows PC to see if I can find my CA Backup (praying it actually exists), no luck so far though. Anyone know of any programs to view XFS or BTRFS file systems in Windows? I think my back-ups are on my cache drive, so btrfs. Can anyone help me in either finding out what my old drive mappings were or with retrieving my Flash back-up from one of the disks? I have over 40TBs of data I'm really hoping I can restore. Thanks in advance

I'm having the exact same issue. Any updates on how your investigation is going?
