October 3, 2025Oct 3 Before I do anything major, I wanted to get a sanity check here. Unraid crashed last week. When I rebooted my array configuration was lost and 2 of my drives were no longer recognized by unraid or my motherboard.I've done tons of googling and troubleshooting on the drive issue. They work if I put them in a usb dock and plug that into the server, but unraid just can't see them via SATA. at least the data is now backed up and fine on new drives.My USB is corrupted and my last backup is before I had this array configuration (yeah, I'm an idiot). I know which drives are data and which 2 are parity, but I have no idea which is parity 1 vs 2. Is there any way to identify that? If yes, my problem is easy to fix. I can just do a new configuration with all drives, tell it that the parity is correct, and have it rebuild the missing drives.Otherwise, my plan was to do a new configuration with just the data drives. Then start the array and copy my backed-up data in. After that I can add the parity drives and let them rebuild themselves. Is that a reasonable plan?
