August 12, 20223 yr Author blimey - it's going to take a long time... do you think it will speed up or is the disk dead? In the interum, i was thinking of taking disk2 though XFS Explorer to extract as much data from disk2 - what do you think?
August 13, 20223 yr Community Expert See if it advances, what's the current status? Is the disk still doing the noise?
August 13, 20223 yr Community Expert If disk2 is mounting with UD you don't need XFS explorer, whatever that is.

August 13, 20223 yr Author Good morning. Hope everyone is well. signed in to the server this morning and terminal is blank. How do I bring up ddrescue? Do I use the same command again? ddrescue -f /dev/sdd /dev/sdac /boot/ddrescue.log Harddrive still making sounnds like it's trying to spin up, smin down, spin up loop.

August 13, 20223 yr Author SIDE THOUGHT I am starting to think there is no hope for these 2 disks. Contemplating biting the bullet and removing disk2 and disk9 and replace them with the new drives and creating a new config (hopefully I can still access the data from all the other disks on the array. Then for the 2 x damaged disks, do some data recovery in windows with UFS Explorer and add those recovered files back to the array? What do you think? Or is there hope yet? Also, I will be getting a further drive so I can set up dual parity. Is it too early for a beer?! lol

Wasn't disk2 mounting with UD? ddrescue is your best bet for disk9, if that doesn't work UFS explorer won't also, UFS explorer might help on the cloned disk if there are fs issues.

Disk2 is mounting in UD Disk9 with ddrescue - terminal was closed. Do I just run the same command again "ddrescue -f /dev/sdd /dev/sdac /boot/ddrescue.log" ?

August 14, 20223 yr Author I agree 😓 ce-la-vie I will be creating a new config without the 2 x failed drives I wil try recover the data externally (disk2 will be okay to do that on. disk9...well that will be another story (maybe a data recovery company for that). Thanks for you all for all your help.
