Jlarimore Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) OK. So, relative noobie here. Been playing around with Unraid for a while now trying to get things figured out before I set things up for real. That means I haven't set up a parity drive yet. Nothing I may have lost is mission critical. But, enough stuff has slowly piled up on the missing disk that recovering the data on it would save me a considerable amount of time and energy. So, I'd like to try. I pinky promise that I'll put a parity drive in once I resolve this. I had a drive go missing today. I received an error that there were read errors on the drive and took a quick look at the log before rebooting and trying to debug. The log showed that my security camera was failing to write to the drive. And, when I tried scanning the disk from within Unraid, it just piled up non stop read errors. So, I rebooted the server and the disk completely disappeared. I turned off the machine, reseated the drive, still nothing. Moved the drive to another M.2 slot. Still nothing. What would you do next? Move the drive to another computer? Should I see if one of my Windows machines can see it? This is a fairly new 8TB Sabrent nvme drive I am using for storage. (less than six months old) It's possible it's faulty. I now realize it would have been helpful to save some of the diagnostics before rebooting. But, any suggestions on what to try?

Jlarimore Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 It sure does. I can't get it to be recognized at all in any machine. Unless it miraculously shows back up in the morning, I guess I'm giving up on it. Second question: My array was made up of two drives. When I first noticed the problem, I could tell that the files from drive 1 were still intact on my network shares while the files from drive 2 (the failed one) suddenly disappeared. That makes sense since each drive holds files independently. But, now I cannot start up the array because "too many wrong and/or missing disks." How can I get at the other half of my files?

JorgeB Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Since there's no parity you need to do a new config: Tools -> New config Quote Link to comment
Jlarimore Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 Well, parity achieved 24 hours too late. Next time I'll be ready. Quote Link to comment
