Yeah, I know. Lesson learned... I took the format as "prepping the drive" to have the parity data written to it, not tell Unraid that I'm deleting everything on that particular drive and then to update parity. Luckily, it looks like most of my important files are still around, so not a total loss. I will definitely be backing the files up onto something else.
I'm hoping I can mess with the "broken" drive and get some files off of it. When I plug the drive up to an external dock, it powers on and spins up, but Windows won't mount it, it just throws errors that show up in the event viewer. I plug it up in Linux, I can see the drive, I can even select it, but then it throws an errors saying it can't mount. I'm hoping I can get something like UFS Explorer and get access to the data.?
