June 25, 20242 yr I had this in another post but I wanted to just get help getting this disk back: I had some issues adding a cache drive and I have verified that the cables and power are good but I cannot add this data drive back to the array. I did notice that it does not appear to have a mountpoint. It is listed as SDF not SDF1. xfs repair shows: Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... superblock read failed, offset 0, size 524288, ag 0, rval -1 fatal error -- Input/output error Any idea if I can get this drive back in the array without reformatting? ironman-diagnostics-20240625-1716.zip
June 26, 20242 yr Community Expert As mentioned in your other thread, SMART looks OK for the disk, but if replacing cables didn't help it may be failing, try a different disk with those same cables, or connect that disk to a different PC.

Different cables did not do anything. The drive can be seen in another computer but it appears that it does not have a partition. I was just hoping someone would have a clue as to how to get this back online. I rebuilt the parity drive today and the data looks good. I was planning on adding a different disk to replace the one in the pic. It is precleared and ready to go. I am also replacing the PCIE sata card as a precaution. Thanks for your input.
