replacing data disk and flash drive at the same time

[MrSatchmoo]

Those 12 files in the lost+found folder were random music files I don't need. I was even able to download them using the giu. This is all pretty amazing to a noob like me.

The old disk was not mountable at all. Just vanished as soon as I tried to mount it.

Great, if the rest looks good you can rebuild to the new disk.

So I just stop the array, add the new drive as disk 2 and start the array? It says: "Start will start Parity-Sync and/or Data-Rebuild." behind the start button. that sounds right, doesn't it? (Again sorry for so many questions about stuff that is obvious for you, I guess. I just don't want to do some big f*** up at the last moment.)

btw: Not sure if I can mark one reply as 'solution' as there were lots of steps to follow. Any suggestions to help the next user?

Just choose one of them, mostly to mark the thread solved.
