April 4, 20233 yr I assume im SOL, but heres my situation. Was running unraid as a VM on esxi7. I had 4 USB drives connected, a 14TB parity drive and 3 8TB drives in the array. I had weird disconnect issues (i think because of my setup) that managed to kill my parity, but not my whole array. i build a new machine, i have an i5-12600k, 32GB RAM and added two 1TB nvme drives for cache and two 16TB drives for parity. that all went smooth, everything is seen by unraid on the new hardware. so tonight i started shucking. didnt seemt to have any issues, all drives powered up, but now two of my drives are seen as different hardware, with different serial numbers so unraid wont let me start the array, as they are "wrong" drives. i dont have anywhere with enough space to have copied all 17ish TB of media as a backup before the build. its all replaceable media, so its not the end of the world, but itll take some time. is there anything i can do to make unraid see the drives how they were, or is that just how it goes when using a USB drive in an array, then shucking it? first pic is what unraid saw before i shut it down. no parity drive is present because i stopped the incredibly slow rebuild and took it out when i was doing something else, but it was there working earlier today. second pic is what i see now. all my drives are seen, but two of my WD my book drives show up with different serial numbers (i think?) so unraid sees them as wrong and wont start the array. any way i can edit something to fix it? Or am i SOL and need to rebuild my media collection? any help would be much apprecaited!
April 4, 20233 yr Community Expert You can try doing a new config (Tools -> New config), but note that some USB bridges are not transparent, if that's the case the disks won't mount without them.
April 4, 20233 yr Author ive tried the new config a few times, but no matter what disk is assigned to what drive, it will only see disk 3 and the data that is saved on there. There are only 2 options for the config, though, because there are just the two other 8TB drives that were assigned to disk 1 and 2, but no matter which is in which slot, i get the same error. it gives me the option to format them and get the array going, but id rather not do that if i can get my data recognized again.
