September 27, 20223 yr Community Expert I assume neither have been tested. Only need one for now to rebuild disk2. I guess rebuild will be a good test of the disk and its connections. Plug it in and post new diagnostics just so we can see its SMART report before proceeding.
September 27, 20223 yr Author See attached unraid-smart-20220927-1718.zip unraid-diagnostics-20220927-1727.zip Edited September 27, 20223 yr by evans.family.mike Added new diagnostics report
September 28, 20223 yr Community Expert Solution Diagnostics already includes SMART for all attached disks so no need to attach it separately. SMART for new disk looks fine. I guess we can let rebuild test the disk and its connections. Follow these instructions carefully. If things don't seem to work as described, or you have questions, let us know. We will check some things along the way to see how well things are working. Go to Tools - Diagnostics, Retain All, Apply Reassign disk1, assign new disk as disk2 Check BOTH parity valid box AND maintenance mode box Then start the array and post new diagnostics and a screenshot of Array Devices Those steps will get disk1 back into the array, a new disk in disk2 slot, all other disks as is, and without actually mounting anything so parity and all disks are unchanged. The next steps (after we get diagnostics and screenshot) will disable disk2 so it can be rebuilt on the new disk.

September 28, 20223 yr Author Those were some stressful steps :-D See the attached diagnostics unraid-diagnostics-20220928-0929.zip
September 28, 20223 yr Community Expert Now unassign disk2, start the array in normal mode and post new diags.
September 28, 20223 yr Community Expert Stop the array, click on disk2 and change the filesystem from "auto" to "xfs", then check filesystem on the emulated disk2.
September 28, 20223 yr Author I stopped the array and clicked on Disk 2 to change the filesystem to xfs and clicked Done. But I don't get an option to check the filesystem, I assume since there isn't a disk assigned? And the File system type doesn't stay as xfs and reverts back to auto Edited September 28, 20223 yr by evans.family.mike added additional info
September 28, 20223 yr Community Expert It should stick, but do this instead: -start array in maintenance mode: -in the console type xfs_repair -v /dev/md2 If and only if it asks for -L type xfs_repair -vL /dev/md2 When done start the array in normal mode and post new diags.
September 28, 20223 yr Author I just realized the last diagnostic report was done with the array still in Maintenance Mode. Attached is a new report with the array started normally unraid-diagnostics-20220928-1438.zip
September 29, 20223 yr Community Expert Emulated disk is mounting now, check that contents look correct, also look for a lost+found folder and any lost files inside.
September 29, 20223 yr Author It looks like everything is there and I'm not seeing any lost+found folders in any of the shares
September 29, 20223 yr Community Expert Then you can rebuild, just stop the array, re-assign the disk and start the array to begin.
September 29, 20223 yr Author Started Total size:12 TB Elapsed time:less than a minute Current position:6.05 GB (0.1 %) Estimated speed:159.3 MB/sec Estimated finish:20 hours, 55 minutes Should I wait until this completes to re-enable Docker?
September 29, 20223 yr Community Expert You can do it now, though if containers will be doing a lot of reading or writing to the array it will affect rebuild time.
September 29, 20223 yr Author Fair enough, I'll leave it disabled until this is finished. From what you guys have seen in the diagnostics does Disk 1 look like it is ok or should I proceed with my initial plan of replacing it as well?
September 30, 20223 yr Author Parity Sync just completed with no errors. This looks very promising. I was able to start docker and my apps were there. I guess I need to understand how I make them utilize the SSD or NVMe disk pools I have. I thought I had them configured to utilize them correctly but I guess I was wrong. Regarding upgrading UNRAID itself from an RC release to a normal release, is there a particular procedure I need to follow? unraid-diagnostics-20220930-1121.zip

September 30, 20223 yr Author I think I am all good now. Thank you so much @JorgeB @trurl and @ChatNoir for all of your help and guidance in getting my array back in working order. I truly appreciate every bit of it.

On 9/24/2022 at 12:14 PM, trurl said: You don't seem to have a pool named cache, but some of your user shares are configured to use that pool. In particular, appdata, domains, system are configured to prefer a pool named cache, and since it doesn't exist, all those shares have been created on the array You need to go to the settings for each of those shares and designate a pool that exists. Then Nothing can move open files. You have to disable Docker and VM Manager in Settings then run Mover to get these moved to their designated pools.
