Griminal Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 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. Quote Link to comment

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 8 minutes ago, JorgeB said: do a new config instead and re-sync parity with the old disk Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Might be a good idea to post diagnostics in case there is something you have overlooked or haven't told us about. Quote Link to comment
Griminal Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 I appreciate the help. Attached diagnostics. I'll hold off on a "new config" until I hear if you all have any concerns. hyde-diagnostics-20240326-1218.zip Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Lots we can't know without the array started. Start the array with that disk still unassigned and post new diagnostics. Quote Link to comment
Griminal Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 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. Quote Link to comment

Griminal Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 I have not. I suppose I could try that. Quote Link to comment
