June 5, 20251 yr This is a bit of a strange one for me... I idenified(one incorrectly) 3 8tb disks that were extra and I wanted to replace them with 18tb ones instead. I stopped the array and after I pulled them, I checked the Main page to confirm that I pulled the right ones. Problem is that I was showing that I was missing 2 data disks from the array, one of them being a 14tb drive, which I didnt pull. Ok... I found that one that I pulled and put that back in but yet I was still missing 2 data disks. Ok... So I went ahead and installed the two new 18tb disks and checked the page once again, Amazingly one of the missing disks was found but only 1 18tb disk is listed on the main page... where did that 18tb disk go???!??? My array only holds 24 disks but 25 is listed??? huh?!?Maybe one of the new disks is bad but why would I have so many disks showing as installed... Yikes! tower-diagnostics-20250605-1240.zip

June 5, 20251 yr Author That's odd... This window it shows that I have only the one 18tb hdd but when I hit the drop down window to swap hdds... I have 2 18tb drives listed there... So I should have 2 unassigned 18tb drives... not the one...hmmm
