June 16, 20233 yr 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
June 17, 20233 yr Community Expert 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.
