July 11, 20232 yr We are a small office and I've used Unraid for a number of years now at home and now at our office. Recently an Old drive went out, a parity drive, the array can withstand up to 2 faults so all was fine. upon placing drive in, format was needed for the drive, it rebuilt 2 terabytes and now I have 1 device disabled and one emulated with another rebuild taking place and my shares are gone. Maybe a few gigs of data nothing crazy. But i've never had my shares just dip, a little bit worried right now with a sinking feeling and it sucks Unraid Ver. 6.12.2
July 11, 20232 yr Diags are after rebooting, and don't show the format, but format is never part of a rebuild, and it will delete all the data in that disk, as the warning mentions: Is the old disk still detected or is it completely dead?
July 11, 20232 yr Author Is there no ways to scan for files, should I kill the rebuild? If so what the hell is it rebuilding?
July 11, 20232 yr Author I feel like it did ask that and I didnt take it as a warning.... freaking crap
July 11, 20232 yr Solution It's rebuilding the formatted (empty) disk, if the old disk is really dead and assuming no backups bet is a using a deleted file recovery util like UFS explorer.
July 11, 20232 yr Author ok, should I let it finish rebuild? and then how would I use UFS explorer/rebuild?
July 11, 20232 yr Let it finish, can't really help with UFS Explorer has I've never used it, but it should be fairly easy, just need to install in a PC and scan the disk.
July 11, 20232 yr Just that disk, assuming all the data was there, since the remaining ones are empty.
July 11, 20232 yr Author how would that work being a striped array? Is there no way to scan the whole array?
July 11, 20232 yr Author Ah I see, I believe I just saw a post relating that, so I should be able to connect each drive and see what I find?
July 11, 20232 yr If you have Dynamix File Manager installed, you can go to shares and you will find this: Now click on the icon in front of the disk where you want to see the contents and explore away.
July 11, 20232 yr I just had a close look at this: I would suspect that there is no data on any drive-- only the file system tables.
July 11, 20232 yr Author Yeah, I've pulled them out and I'm gonna see if I can use the before mentioned UFS explorer to find anything
