December 18, 20232 yr As the title says, my Parity drive stopped working suddenly without reason. When I stopped the array, the drive was missing. After a power down and a jiggling of the cables, I booted the system up and it sees the drive however unRaid says that Parity is disabled, even though the drive is selected. I was able to run a full SMART test with no errors reported, but the system does not want to use it. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? I'm concerned about losing data without protection in place. TIA!

December 18, 20232 yr Author Thanks for the information. I tried the steps for "Rebuilding a drive onto itself" and it appears to be re-creating the parity. Thanks!
