svennibenni Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Hi There, I was copying data from my old nas and as this was very slow, I did turn off parity. Then it was much better. When I was finally thru, I wanted to close the computer case and ... broke a sata connector of one of my hard drives... So I put in a different disk and thought this is no real problem, as I expected to lose the data from that single harddisk . But now unraid keeps telling me "Too many wrong and/or missing disks" and wouldnt start the array. I dont want to copy the other 7 disks again ( I stll have all the data) - is there a way to tell unraid to include this new disk instead of the broken one ? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Use the New Config tool and tell it to keep all current assignments. Then change the one for the new disk and start the array to commit the new set of disks. All disks previously used by Unraid and with data already on them are left untouched. Quote Link to comment
svennibenni Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 thanks for the quick reply I used the new config tool as you said, but where do I have to change something for the new disk ? Quote Link to comment
svennibenni Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 aaah I had to check this box "I want to do this" It is rebooting Quote Link to comment
svennibenni Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 I could see my data on the other disks again for a short time in midnight commander - but no disk 2 (the new one) I rebootet the system and now I can see nothing again - I could start the array but when I click on shares it tells me that I have to start the array to see the shares ...

svennibenni Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 strangely .. I can access the shares from a remote computer Quote Link to comment
svennibenni Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 but I cannot add a cache drive, no disk 2 ... Quote Link to comment
svennibenni Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 I try reboot in safe mode - hopefully something like XP safe mode for troubleshooting Quote Link to comment
svennibenni Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) in safe mode I can see all the disks, all the data and start the array. If I start in normal mode I can not PLEASE advise OR would it be easier to solve this issue if I just start all over again from scratch ?

svennibenni Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 First answer came very quickly .... but why there was never an answer to my following questions ? So I had to begin from scratch again. Quite dissapointing Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Please post the diagnostics. Quote Link to comment

If I start in normal mode I can not This suggests a plugin is causing your problem. The key thing that is different in Safe Mode is that no plugins are loaded. Quote Link to comment
Solution svennibenni Posted September 24, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted September 24, 2022 thanks for coming back to me and my problem I had absolutely no vm or docker - nothing installed so far But problem has been solved by me, as I formatted the USB drive and started all over again. Now it is up and running fine no diagnostic file needed any longer 🙂 Quote Link to comment
