November 8, 20241 yr Hi everyone, I have built my unraid server years ago and it has been running smoothly since then. One of my disks is suddenly showing as disabled though and I am lost about what I am supposed to do to fix it. I see that I can still access the files on this drive, is it because they have been backed up? (sorry for the silly question but like I said I kind of forgot everything I did) I have rebooted and attached the diagnostic zip for your consideration. Thank you in advance garage-diagnostics-20241108-1106.zip
November 8, 20241 yr Community Expert Solution A disk gets disabled if a write to it fails. When that happens Unraid will start emulating its contents (and stops using the physical drive) using the combination of parity plus the other drives. To clear this status you have to rebuild the drive as described in this section of the online documentation accessible via the Manual link at the bottom of the Unraid GUI (in addition every forum page has a DOCS link at the top and a Documentation link at the bottom) and the Unraid OS->Manual section covers most aspects of the current Unraid release. Since it looks like the emulation is showing all the disk contents then you can use the option to rebuild the drive onto itself.
