August 17, 20223 yr Hello and Thanks in Advance I recently added a new drive into my array, copied the content from another drive that was failing onto the new drive, replaced the failing one. Let the parity rebuild onto the new drive and have now since reformatted the new drive as I don't need the duplicated drive. I did it this way because i got told to do it this way (haha) My server gui has since reformatting become super slow, I tried to reboot and it took about 15 minutes. It took 40 minutes to mount the drives. I only have 5 with a total of 2 x 8TB, 2x 1TB, 1 x 4TB and an 8TB Parity. It has now been well over an hour and a half and I am still waiting for services to start. I have posted the syslogs and can post anything else if need be! https://pastebin.com/a3E6ah20

August 17, 20223 yr Author A few people in the Reddit group. They kept saying they thought my drive would fail before parity was built and id loose all the data so was better of trying to use unbalanced and copy all the data, then ad parity and then remove and replace drive but it didn't fail it worked fine. I have attached diagnostics. Thanks again. tower-diagnostics-20220818-0628.zip
August 18, 20223 yr Author I have also noticed a lot of my dockers are now saying database disk image is maformed or irreparable failure.

Perhaps they got corrupted during the drive issues.

August 18, 20223 yr Author Unfortunately I didn't realise it wasn't backing up. It only seems to be a handful of apps I will attempt to reinstall them.
