July 19, 20232 yr Unraid Version 6.12.3 My Daily driver Windows 10 is an Unraid VM. I stepped away from the computer and when I came back I noticed windows was at the login screen. Not thinking much of it I logged back in and noticed Plex wasn't working so I stopped the plex docker and it wouldn't restart. This is rare but it's happened about a year ago and was fixed by a reboot of Unraid. I reboot Unraid and when once it started I noticed a parity disk and a raid disk were both in error and disabled. Thinking it was just a hickup, I reboot the server again and they both came back in error again so I stopped the array, clicked 'no device' for my first data disk and it showed up in unassigned devices so I mounted it and found all the files and the disk working otherwise as normal. After re-adding it and restarting the array, both still came back in error. A similar situation has happened before a couple years ago (not the same disks) and was remedied by using 'New Config' and rebuilding the parity. Should I do that again or is there an easier fix? My last parity check was two weeks ago. All my important array disks are backed up so I'm not too concerned with losing data. Sorry I didn't grab a diagnostic before a first reboot, but here is my current one along with a snap of my system and the Smart report on both drives.

July 19, 20232 yr Community Expert Diags are after rebooting so we can't see what happened, but the usual recommendation is to rebuild the disk (and re-sync parity).
July 19, 20232 yr Author The reason I asked is because something else is going on and I don't know what. I decided to remove Parity one and Disk one and put in two replacements. I moved both of the old disks into another Unraid system, they both showed up as unassigned, and they are both preclearing. Neither of those disks are actually bad and someday they'll probably wind their way back into the array to replace another disk or two that aren't actually bad. *I'm thinking of replacing my HBA...
