jonfive Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I got ahead of myself, wasn't grasping what i should be doing and went ahead with new config. It wanted to erase parity disk which didn't seem right so i rebooted. I had a flash backup with the original config and loaded that. The disk i wanted to replace is 'unmountable' at the moment, which isn't really an issue because it's going to be replaced and recent parity check was good. I have the new disk ready to go, listed in unassigned devices. At the moment, it's going through a parity check. Can i cancel that check? And just so i don't mess up again: 1. Stop array 2. De-assign the disk i want to remove 3. Assign the disk that will be replacing that one in the same slot. 4. Start array Correct? or am i messing up Thanks a ton folks! Quote Link to comment

Parity, if valid, will rebuild the drive as it is, with whatever corruption is present. Parity doesn't hold files, it works with the entire partition, file system included, so if the file system is corrupt that's what parity will rebuild. When did that disk become unmountable?

Just as i rebooted. i think i just did too many things at once all willy-nilly Quote Link to comment

Only ended up losing a few tb, of which are 100% replaceable. thank you SO much for all your efforts here. you guys are really the stars of the show Quote Link to comment
