Hi,
I'm running unRaid 6.6.6.
I may have foolishly run 'new config' under 'tools' a bit too haphazardly.
My goal was to free up one drive entirely so I could remove it from the array (not necessarily in that order).
There's enough space on the remaining drives to cover the data that is on the drive I want to remove.
All I have done at this point is run 'new config', and I get this error when I select the previous drive assignments (without applying anything or trying to start/rebuild the array):
"All existing data on this device will be OVERWRITTEN when array is Started"
The parity and data drives are listed as "new devices"
Have I cooked the array? The data, drives, and parity should all be correct and intact, I haven't done anything since except reboot once.
I would like to first know if the raid structure is recoverable, if not, can I set up a new raid using the data on the drives without losing anything?
And then, if I can fix the array, what's the best way to migrate data from one disk to two other disks? (The data I want to move is too big to fit on either disk entirely without being split.) After moving the data I want to shrink the array to be one drive fewer.
Can anyone offer some advice?
Thanks
