Parity and 3 array drives all stopped functioning at once

[veritas2884]

All of the drives were plugged directly into the motherboard's SATA ports, including the two that are still working, one in the array and the SSD used for cache.

 

There were no power surges or loss of power, just got an alert my array was almost full, logged in to see why, and saw I only had 1 HD on the array.

 

I have moved all 4 of the hard drives to a PCI-E 4-port SATA card to see if the ports on the motherboard were experiencing issues, but same result after reboot.

 

Any help would be amazing, because I am dead in the water right now.

Check filesystem on the unmountable disks, run it without -n

Thank you so much. I was able to run that on the three affected drives and then run it again with the -v to commit the proposed changes. Now they're all mounted again and I have no "lost and found" files, so I think the array is good to go. However, I still have the red x next to the parity drive. I tried to spin it up and spin it down again. Any way to fix this?

Once a drive is disabled (red 'x') you have to rebuild  the drive to clear this: status

• Stop array
• Unassign Parity Drive
• Start array to commit change
• Stop array
• Assign parity Drive
• Start array to rebuild parity drive.

Thank you. Doing it now. Will the array be available while it rebuilds?

It should be if you started the array in normal mode rather than Maintenance mode (although performance will be significantly degraded until the parity build completes).
