this is what I see. 

That is NOT the Main page.

 

Where it says, "Dashboard Main Shares Users Settings Plugins Docker VMS Apps Tools" click on the word "MAIN"

The array is already reset, you cannot do it again, just assign the devices.

when you say "assign" the devices are you saying to select "All" under the "Preserver Current Assignments"?

[trurl]

In Main - Array Devices, assign your disks. Don't assign any disk to any parity slot since you don't know which disk is parity.

 

From that link given several times:

Option 1

Assign ALL drives as data drives.

Start the array

Make a note of the serial numbers of drives showing as unmountable as these are probably our parity drives.

 

After you start the array, post a screenshot of Main - Array Devices along with your diagnostics.

I am very worried now as it only shows 1 as parity. The instructions says I was to create a new config but it only shows "preserve current assignments" was I supposed to do that or just assign the all drives as data as I have now done?

[can4d]

I figured out that I have to create a new config after I start the array and its wrong. 

 

Any thoughts as to how to proceed? I suppose there is no way to understand pools and I will have to recreate shares?

 

If I add one of the Seagates as parity it will erase it but I will keep the data from the other one?

That 500G unmountable disk can't be parity since it isn't large enough. Is it an SSD? Since that other 500G is btrfs, maybe they were both in a multidisk pool.

 

Are you sure you had any disk assigned as parity?

Attach diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread.

I thought you didn't have any of your configuration. Why is Docker and VM Manager enabled?

 I might have used it as a pool with the other 500. that makes sense to me. Yes I had parity drive for one of the 6TB. 

 

diagnostics is attached.

Not possible. Parity doesn't have a filesystem to mount. Both of those are data disks. Is there another disk you might have been using as parity?

I was able to retrieve some config files from the original usb that I accidentally updated the usb flash with new usb creator. 

[trurl]

OK, I see what is going on.

 

Those 2x6TB disks were the only array disks, so parity and disk1 makes a mirror. And they appear to have the same amount of data so that is probably correct.

 

Go to User Shares page, click Compute All button, wait for results, post a screenshot

I assure you I had parity, as it would run as scheduled with alert notifications. I am not sure what is going on. you can see both drives are exactly same with data. 

 

Should I shut the array off? I am afraid to install community applications and unassigned devices to see if I can get my original /boot/config that I believe I moved to it. Not really sure how to proceed at all. 

[trurl]

I can already see from diagnostics that each of your user shares are on both disks 1 and 2. So the mirror hypothesis is almost certainly correct.

[trurl]

And probably disk 3,4 were cache pool, and nvme was another pool.

[trurl]

Probably you haven't lost any data, might take a bit of work to get your configuration sorted out.

 

Since Docker is enabled, go to Docker page and post a screenshot.

the compute all is still computing. I believe I had a mirror and believe you to be correct (all foggy with all the stress) just not sure as to the specifics on how to best recreate. 

 

my array is still running. is this ok?

[trurl]

You are a little behind, I've already figured out your disk assignments.

We'll get to that.

Yes we need it to be running to get those other screenshots I asked for. Just don't write anything to it.

Looks like you must have gotten your docker templates back from your configuration.

Looks like disk2 has a little more appdata than disk1, probably because docker is enabled. Might be a good idea to wait on getting parity assigned until we can get appdata off those disks and onto a pool where it should have been to begin with. domains and system should be on a pool too.

 

Still need to see the Compute... for those last 3 shares, especially system.
