LWM2017 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) Hi Guys, New to unraid and it was running fine until installed a new harddrive and had to swap a sata port on one of the existing drives. Now it shows up with the error as per screen shot below, is there any way to recover this? thanks tower-diagnostics-20210916-2047.zip Edited September 16, 2021 by LWM2017 Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Forgot to mention, you have other disks with HPA enable, but don't remove it on those or Unraid will also complain the disks are wrong, but now because they are larger than they should be, only remove on disk3 and disable that feature on the board BIOS so more are not created.

LWM2017 Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 Thanks JorgeB, that worked, i was able to get the array up and running again. I've found the Xpress BIos Recovery option in bios and have turned it off, funny thing I updated the bios to the latest version and that was the problem prior to this version it didn't have this HPA feature! In regards to the other drives that have the the HPA issue but are still working correctly in unraid, should i fix them the same way? thanks again. Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Also note that HPA can make Unraid complain that parity isn't large enough if you try to assign one of those to parity. Quote Link to comment
