February 24, 20251 yr Had a strange one this weekend. Using the server as normal, went out, came back an hour later, and all the shares were gone. Read a few posts about what to do, and general consensus was a reboot, so stopped the array and rebooted. Device came backup, but with missing parity disk. Had to accept parity was missing and the array started. I assumed the disk had failed, so pulled the disk, put it in an external enclosure, it spun up ok, so put it back in the system, bought the system back up, and could assign the parity disk again - that's now calculating parity - after that's done, im going to run some smart tests and see if the disk is good. Unsure why it happened, but the stranger thing is, after putting the parity disk back in, one of my SSD's showed as missing. The SSD is a m.2 slot device direct on the motherboard. Went in to the BIOS and it's definitely not detected there either. Powered down, removed the ssd, re inserted the SSD, powered up, still not being detected in the BIOS. Looks like the SSD has died, so ive ordered another - im just wondering if the SSD dying caused the initial shares to disappear. Im guessing there is no historical logs I can go back and review?
