Array Starting - Mounting disks seems totally stuck after update

[JorgeB]

You need to stop the array first, if if doesn't stop and auto start is enabled:

If auto start if enabled and you cannot disable it using the GUI, edit disk.cfg on your flash drive (config/disk.cfg) and change startArray="yes" to "no", then type reboot in the CLI.

Finally! The array is stopped.

I pulled everything apart, cleaned everything with a compressor to get all the old dust out, put it back together again but did not connect the 5-th disk. Somehow I got it started in safemode and now I can set the auto start to no.

 

Thank you for help and your patients with me. I really appreciate it.

I was able to add a new parity and it is rebuilding now and I have access to everything again. I will remove the old parity disk when the rebuild is complete.

 

One more question though.
If I add a new disk and assign it to disk 4 (the one not installed) will it then be rebuilt from the other disks?

Since you rebuilt parity, the array doesn't have any way to rebuiild that disk.

Thanks for the help.

I will close this thread now and read up on getting everything setup correctly and get notifications.
