Too many wrong and/or missing disks!

Featured Replies

I had a system running and 2 drives failed.

 

I'm trying to replace these 2 drives with new ones.

 

I get the error Too many wrong and/or missing disks!

 

I've tried Tools>New Config and still getting the same issue.

Wish you had posted before that. New Config is not the way to recover data.

 

And it looks like you also did a few reboots along the way so can't really tell what you had before all that.

 

At this point, the only thing it is going to do is rebuild parity, and parity contains none of your data.

 

There are several different scenarios that a new user might describe as "fail", and they require different solutions.

 

SMART reports for all disks looks OK, so maybe just connection problems.

 

In what way did the disks "fail"? Were they disabled (red X)? Were they shown as unmountable? Both?

Drives click and show as missing in the Array.
They also don't show when connected to other computers.

Did you actually start the array after New Config?

 

If you only had single parity then you can't start the array with 2 missing disks.

 

Probably both disks had been giving warnings for some time before you noticed.

 

Do you have backups of anything important and irreplaceable?
