February 17, 20251 yr Community Expert We can't give you good advice without more information. Reboot if you have to, then 14 minutes ago, JorgeB said: Please post the diagnostics with the array started.
February 17, 20251 yr Community Expert Solution Both disks look healthy, almost certainly not a disk problem that got them disabled, emulated disk2 is mounting, assuming contents look correct, you can rebuild on top, and resync parity2 at the same time, any errors during the rebuild/sync, get new diags before rebooting. https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/storage-management#rebuilding-a-drive-onto-itself
February 17, 20251 yr Author SO uh, I should do a parity sync? Sorry I am a bit confused as to what exactly I should do.
February 17, 20251 yr Community Expert You can rebuild the disabled disk and re-sync parity2 at the same time, by doing what's mentioned in the link above.
February 17, 20251 yr Author Ok thank you. i have now begun the process in maintenance mode and should see if it has worked by tomorrow. i appreciate the help, Thank You again. - M
February 18, 20251 yr Author Just out of curiosity, are you able to see the cause so that I can try and mitigate it or stop- it from happening again?

March 3, 20251 yr Author So far things seem to be working though i really wish i could know what caused the failure. thank you so much for the assistance.
