April 9, 20242 yr I have an array drive that's disabled and showing emulated currently. Is it possible to move the data from the "emulated" drive to another good working with the unbalance plugin and then simple remove the disabled drive from the array?
April 9, 20242 yr Community Expert Solution It is definitely possible to move the data. However are you sure the drive has failed? More often then not a drive is disabled (because a write failed) due to an external factor such as cabling or power. You should post your system's diagnostics zip file in your next post in this thread to get more informed feedback. You can also try running an extended SMART test on the drive as if it passes that the drive is probably OK.
April 14, 20242 yr Author Thanks for the help. I shut down the server, reseated all SATA and power cables. Powered on the server performed an extended SMART test. Zero errors were reported. Performed the rebuilding drive process. https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/storage-management/#rebuilding-a-drive-onto-itself The rebuild completed. No issues observed now going forward. Thanks again.
