OtherWorldsTV Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Right about 3:15 this afternoon I got an alert saying my parity drive had failed. I shut down the array, grabbed the diagnostics, and ran a smart test on the parity drive. No errors. So how do I fix this problem and get my array back online? Diagnostics are attached. kenya-diagnostics-20230616-1516.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Parity disk dropped offline, please note that we don't recommend using USB for array/pool disks, they are prone to random disconnects and bad at error handling in general. Quote Link to comment

Solution JorgeB Posted June 17, 2023 Solution Share Posted June 17, 2023 You can re-sync parity, but sooner or later that disk or one of the other ones will possibly drop out again. 1 Quote Link to comment
