iCarl Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment

iCarl Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 Diagnostics attached, I know the drive failed because the sata port was damaged when doing maintenance on the server. Unraid-diagnostics-20220910-2227.zip Quote Link to comment

iCarl Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 the connector on the disk itself. A heads up to others with the Fractal Node case, when sliding in the tray of HHDs be mindful of clearance with the power supply... it bent my Sata connector and snapped off one HHDs Sata pins.

Unassign one of the parity drives, start array, stop array, assign old parity as disk1, start array to begin rebuilding. Quote Link to comment
