December 24, 20232 yr Hi there, today I had my first disk error. I looked in the log and apparently it was some sorta cache error, so the first thing I did was rebooting the server. After the reboot, the disk was listed as missing completely. So I opened up the server, only to see that the SATA cable came lose - I didn't insert the connector properly and it didn't clip (I re-arranged the disks some days ago). After connecting it properly again, the disk shows up but not as part of the array. When I stop the array and re-assign it into place, it wants to format and re-build the disk from ground up. How can I save my disks from all the stress of rebuilding and just insert it back into the array (followed by a parity check, of course)? Best Regards
