April 25, 20233 yr So long story short, i think i have made a very serious error with my array and need guidance to save it. I recently added a new MD1200 that came with drives and I added them onto the array. Went smooth, my server detected the drives and i went though the long process pre-clearing the drives. For whatever reason i mounted the drives forgetting that i was meant to replace 5 drives with newer higher capacity drives. I then proceeded to replace all drives by changing each drive to replace as no device then doing a new config so that i can swap the drives and reallocate back to my array. This went fine and it warned me that i would need to do a full rebuild of my parity which was fine but now i have all disks showing in the array but the parity rebuild is moving at kb/s and one disk (not one a replaced) is showing some errors. What’s my best move forward? Should i cancel the parity rebuild and swap this bad drive? mediaserver-syslog-20230425-1732.zip Edited April 25, 20233 yr by Niche_Creation Grammar
