perfect Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Hello! I am running Unraid v6.8.3. I recently experienced a disabled disk in my array. The contents of the disk appear to be intact (I can still navigate into the disk and access the files). I have several other available disks that I can transfer the data onto. I plan to remove this disk since it's apparently having [reallocated] sector errors. I read several threads on the topic and most link to a deleted page: https://wiki.unraid.net/Troubleshooting#Re-enable_the_drive I'm happy to post any logs - but wanted to check here first so that I don't lose any data or screw up my array.

I actually still have a lot of available storage left on my array and am avoiding buying a new HD (at current prices). I'm only at 50% storage usage on my 30TB array - and this particular drive is only using 1.5TB total. Is there a way that I can safely transfer the 1.5TB data from this disabled drive onto another drive and simply unmount disk3? I will then remove it from the array permanently and let the data live on the rest of the array. Is there a procedure for this? Quote Link to comment
