November 26, 20241 yr Community Expert You can try, honestly I'm not sure with all the changes you've made, but it won't hurt to try, you just need a spare disk to use as old disk1, needs to be the same size or larger than the previous disk.

I'm just not that sure how does the new config interact with things, because I'd like to do a new config first to mount it (Since I can't mount a 4kn drive directly) and check if the data is there or not, but I'm just not sure if I'd able to revert it to the state now if I tried a new config? Does the Parity needs anything on the system? I'm pretty much just afraid that the parity would just completely stop working after I create a new config. (Like maybe Parity is depends on some data that currently exist on the system that might get removed after I create a new config?) Also could u explain a lil closer on how new config works as well? (Just clicking on the new config already shows me a few options) Edited November 26, 20241 yr by LunarstarPony

It would still be possible, but the more you mount and unmount the drives, the more parity will be out of sync with the old config, so less likely to work, so I would suggest trying to emulate disk1 first, since that won't cause any issues with a new config later. That also requires doing a new config, but I can post detailed instructions, if you want to try it.

Sure, But If I want to try emulate Disk1 first I'll need to mount the old Disk3 first, but yeah feel free to send the instructions. Edited November 27, 20241 yr by LunarstarPony
November 27, 20241 yr Community Expert -Tools -> New Config -> Retain current configuration: All -> Apply -Check all assignments and assign any missing disk(s) if needed, including the disk you want to rebuild, replacement disk should be same size or larger than the old one -IMPORTANT - Check both "parity is already valid" and "maintenance mode" and start the array (note that the GUI will still show that data on parity disk(s) will be overwritten, this is normal as it doesn't account for the checkbox, but it won't be as long as it's checked) -Stop array -Unassign the disk you want to rebuild -Start array (in normal mode now) and post new diags

Since the Disk1 does have a possibility to have data already. Edited November 27, 20241 yr by LunarstarPony

November 27, 20241 yr Community Expert You need to follow the procedure as written, that includes stating in maintenance mode, but just one time and for a few seconds.

Yeah but the thing is it is possible that there's already the data available in the Disk1, since this is the drive that it suppostly rebuild on. If you recall there's a weird thing happened earlier where I set UnRaid to rebuild data on this specific Drive but after if finish and the array is stopped it reverted to the old drives again, so it could be possible that there's already my data in it and no rebuild is needed at all.

Also I decided to disable everything but mount everything like normal, and turns our the data is indeed rebuilt in the 10TB Drive, so I have all the drive with all data intact(As far as I know that is, at least I try to select some files from all 3 drives and they seems to work flawlessly and the used storage on each drive is no longer empty) Was doing a Parity Check now which shows quite a lot of errors tho.

November 30, 20241 yr Author Goteverythign back to normal since everything starts from thew broken Disk, no data is lost !
