o0X0o Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Hi, I added a new drive (for additional capacity) to my array and found that while the system would boot, it would only be responsive for a minute or two before the web GUI would fail to connect, and I could no longer ping or connect to a share. Thinking I may have hit the limit of my PSU, I removed the smallest drive and the server was then responsive. The GUI reported the drive I disconneted as not installed (as expected), and said that the data from the missing drive would still be available. Unfortunately, this is not the case... The last parity check had been successful, so I don't know why the data isn't available. Is it possible that parity isn't working, or do I have to manually do something? Appreciate any suggestions.
elkay14 Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 So if say disk5 is the one you pulled, you cannot see anything under /mnt/disk5?
o0X0o Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 I can connect to the disk share and see a little bit of the foder structure (i.e. some of what I would expect to see through the user shares), but no actual files. FYI - I'm running 4.5 Pro

Joe L. Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Besides... you'll see no more with a disk drive installed in place of the missing disk than with it simulated. If using one of the newer betas, run the fix-permissions utility. Joe L.

Is it the new disk? Or an existing disk? The issue might be as simple as a loose cable to the drive. If existing, you probably need to run reiserfsck on it as described in the wiki. Joe L.
lionelhutz Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Just for future note, don't just go pulling random drives out when you suddenly are having issues. The new disk may be having issues. The parity + every other data disk must be healthy to simulate or rebuild a disk. In your case, disk6 is not healthy and you've now pulled the wrong disk making it much harder to recover disk6 if that is necessary. Peter
