Please Help - Array device Disk 3 Not Installed, drive now in Unassigned how do I put it back in the array?

[Kiwiconcord]

I was adding 2 x 8TB archive drives I want to use as Unassigned, I am a bit of a newbie, so something I did has dropped my disk 3 out of array and put it in Unassigned as Dev4. Don't know how to get it back again? Help please.

You are likely to get better informed feedback if you post your system’s diagnostics zip file.

I assume the disk that should be disk3 is the one with WSD0QVWE as its serial? My guess would be that you disturbed its connection when adding the drives you now want as Unassigned drives.   It is showing up OK in the SMART reports and it looks OK there.
 

Does Unraid show that disk3 is currently being emulated?   If so check that the emulated disk has the content you expect as the process for getting it back into the array involves rebuilding the drive with the contents that are shown as present on the emulated disk3 by stopping the array; assigning the disk as disk3; and restarting the array to rebuild the physical disk3 to match the emulated one.

 

if the emulated disk3 does NOT show the expected content then do not rebuild but post back here for advice.

Yes it is all there on the emulated, so I have stopped array and added WSD0QVWE back as disk 3 and it is rebuilding, thanks really appreciate, last time I did something I didn't ask and I made it worse. Cheers
