July 2, 20251 yr I have already been through many if the posts that revolve around recovery after a corrupt boot drive. My lesson has been learned and I have been shamed appropriately. So far, I haven't seen anything that pertained to my specific issue, so I am looking for some assistance.I have recreated my boot drive and gotten back into unRAID. I followed some instructions to mount all my drives as data drives and whatever doesn't mount is my parity drive. Technically I have 4 drives in my system. 1TB SSD (Pool), 2 8TB drives, 1 3TB drive. When I assigned the 3 drives in question both 8TB drives mounted and the 3TB did not. But it obviously can't be the parity drive because it is too small. With both 8TB drives mounted, my shares are loaded and appear to be complete. I believe what happened is that my previous array just consisted of 1 data drive (8TB) and 1 parity drive (8TB). Now it seems I have 2 mirrored drives. Is that possible, and if so does it matter which one I assign as parity now?I think the 3TB drive was actually a shucked drive out of a previous system that remained unassigned in the previous array, but to be honest my system was on autopilot so long I can't be positive.

As long as the drives are the same size it does not matter which way around you assign them.
July 3, 20251 yr Author Thanks! I know its a long shot, but is there anyway my docker configs and all are saved on these drives, or do i have to get set that all up again?

The settings were saved as XML templates on the flash drive so if you lost the contents of that you will have to set them up again.
