[6.12.6] New drive died after a couple days

[tylxr]

Hi there,

 

I had a new drive die after a couple days in my UNRAID server (it just clicks, doesn't show up in UNRAID anymore). I think it was only using ~1% space so I don't think anything was actually on it.

 

Unfortunately, I did not have a parity drive setup. Am I screwed?

If nothing was on it then I guess not

I'm fairly confident I can live without whatever little data was on there but I'm not sure what to do at this point.

 

How would I go about removing the device from the array? This is all I'm seeing in UNRAID

Tools, new config. Just make sure you don't accidentally assign any drives to the two parity slots.

Is there any specific option on should choose?

Doesn't matter much, since you know what drives you want to assign, but you can preserve all to leave the drives in their previous slots while still allowing free reassignment. The preserve options simply determines which slots are completely blanked vs. prefilled. The end result is the same, it's just a matter of convenience.

Awesome. I just did the new config. Things seem... alright so far lol

I think I've learned my lesson about not running a parity drive and not preclearing drives.

 

Thank you for the help!
