I unfortunately got a little excited after waiting a few hours after your response for fix and ran the new config. I'm going to have to run the parity build again because disk7 is erroring up a storm (63k errors) so will pull that and put the other two back. Considering these were drives that came with the MD1200 I'm not surprised these drives are pooping out.

Pulled the cable and it cleared up. Thanks for the assist JorgeB & itimpi for troubleshooting / walking me through this. Final question: Am I good with the new config options for rebuilding without loss? Thanks again and happy holidays if you're in the USA! server-diagnostics-20240704-1439.zip

That's something I've noticed since, I want to say, I added the MD1200. It shows those drives again even though they're part of the array. I would imagine hitting the clear disk or removing partition would be detrimental?

Disk 9 and 16 were pulled since they were failing. This is why I'm trying to stop the array and rebuild so my parity can be rebuilt.

Shutdown Unraid properly, but the MD1200 doesn't have a power button so it has to be physically unplugged. Pulled the drives and all looks good (the systems are in a rack in the basement that doesn't get played with). Plugged everything back in and powered up to a lovely "improper shutdown detected" which is pretty much typical at this point each time I do a reboot / shutdown and see the errors from that drive are cleared. Array still not stopping when I tell it to proceed. server-diagnostics-20240704-1158.zip

I was able to reboot through either the GUI or CLI, neither one really gave me feedback like it normally would that it was performing the action. Figured I'd look at it when I get back from vacation and found that it did reboot, but uncleanly. I still can't stop the array whenever I click it on the main array. I'm actually getting more concerned because with more of the 2nd hand hard drives erroring I don't want to our data. I'm worried that I'll just have to bite the bullet to piecemeal another temp backup server to get the data secured until I build another dedicated machine. server-diagnostics-20240704-1039.zip

Morning all, I'm running a Dell R720 with an MD1200 shelf bay attached. While the system has been fine over the past 4years of running it, the 4tb HDs that came with the MD1200 are starting to fail. Unfortunately I can't seem to be able to stop my array to build a new configuration as I remove these failed drives. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, server-diagnostics-20240630-1056.zip
