October 24, 20214 yr I have a supermicro server with hot swap bays. I removed a data disk while the array was running by mistake. I plugged it back in right a away. But now it says "Device is disabled, Contents Emulated" Do i have to rebuild that disk? Disk is in fine health. It was removed for only like 10 seconds. Any way to not do a rebuild?

October 24, 20214 yr Community Expert You have to rebuild the disk or do a new config and correct parity, either way it will take about the same time, 2nd option is usually best if the emulated disk is not mounting or required a filesystem check that created some lost+found content.
October 24, 20214 yr Author Ok i will go with option 1 (rebuild the disk) Should i just select a replacement disk and start the array?
October 25, 20214 yr Community Expert You can also rebuild on top of the old disk, as long as the emulated disk is mounting and contents look correct.
