May 12, 20233 yr I just replaced two 14tb parity drives with two 16tb. I did them both at the same time, feeling confident in my array as it's been rock solid for years. After parity was rebuilt, I cleared the two 14 TB drives that used to be the parity drives. That took a long time. I cleared the third 16TB in it's USB container. Afterward, I shucked it, and put it into the case, where unraid insisted on re-zeroing it. (probably saw it as a different drive, which makes sense) So I am sitting in my front room, watching Plex with the kids, and then BAM, my phone blows up with unraid notifications: the last 16TB drive just got done being cleared. The next message warns me that unraid has disk errors Turns out, Unraid has disabled disk 5 (8TB) and Disk 8 (10tb) It only claims to have had errors, so I can't understand why it has shut them down and is emulating them. I downloaded the log files first, then shut the server down so I could reseat the cables (I checked them all, since I have no idea which drive is which inside the case. I just know where they are by sizes, but the Rosewill case is very crowded with wires/cabling so it could be that I bumped or pulled another cable installing the last drive in the last spot in this case. The smart reports look good to me, but I'm no expert. I can't get unraid to reactivate the drives, and since it is two drives at the same time I am VERY concerned about data loss. I was in the middle of transferring everything off Drive 8 (it's been over 24 hours of moving data) and have it down to 4tb. Can I continue to move this off to one of the 14's while emulated? Is there any way to get them to spin up? I click the red X and it doesn't do anything, they remain emulated. I have shut down all the dockers except Krusader so I can move files off the drive. I hope someone can help, as this is nerve wracking!
