Mancubus Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 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! Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 A drive is disabled and stops being used when a write to it fails. To get it used again you are going to have to Rebuild the parity using the process in the link. Quote Link to comment
Mancubus Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 Thanks for the information. I tried the steps for "Rebuilding a drive onto itself" and it appears to be re-creating the parity. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
