Hello.  So I had a HBA die out on me.  Disk3 became disabled.  I removed Disk3 from the array, attempted to mount it, and it failed.  I performed a check on it and everything repaired successfully.  I'm able to mount and browse the disk now.

 

My concern, if I add the drive back to the array, will it overwrite all the files on it?  If a parity check happens, will it consider all the files currently on the drive?  Right now, my shares are missing a lot of files... because they were stored on Disk3.  I had to do a lot of reboots diagnosing the HBA issue.

 

Sorry for my vague questions.  The old brain isn't working like it used to.

Yes, you can try and repair the emulated disk or do a new config instead and re-sync parity with the old disk.

 

 

For future reference, normally you would

and if that looked good, rebuild.

 

Since you repaired the disk outside the array, it is out-of-sync, so the only way to get it back into the array is

Might be a good idea to post diagnostics in case there is something you have overlooked or haven't told us about.

I appreciate the help.  Attached diagnostics.  I'll hold off on a "new config" until I hear if you all have any concerns.

Lots we can't know without the array started. Start the array with that disk still unassigned and post new diagnostics.

Disk2 decided it wanted to be corrupt too.  I haven't fixed that one yet.  Questioning my hardware at this point.  I will respond back when I figure out what to do.  Thank you.

Have you done memtest?

I have not.  I suppose I could try that.
