tylxr Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) 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? Edited March 29 by tylxr Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 If nothing was on it then I guess not Quote Link to comment
tylxr Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 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 Quote Link to comment
Solution JonathanM Posted March 29 Solution Share Posted March 29 Tools, new config. Just make sure you don't accidentally assign any drives to the two parity slots. Quote Link to comment

JonathanM Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 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. Quote Link to comment

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! Quote Link to comment
