September 11, 20223 yr One of my data disks has recently failed, I have dual parity and would like to use of the two parity drives as the new data disk. Could I just remove the second parity drive and let unraid rebuild the failed drive on that? I'd like to make sure not to lose data so I'm asking here before doing anything.
September 11, 20223 yr Author Diagnostics attached, I know the drive failed because the sata port was damaged when doing maintenance on the server. Unraid-diagnostics-20220910-2227.zip
