November 2, 2025Nov 2 Hey guys, im not a power user but have been running unraid for 2-3 years now.I'm having an issue after a recent power outage led to multiple parts failing. Fortunately the 14 hdds and 2 nvme ssds are ok. But, unfortunately my zfs cache pool had no redundancy unfortunately (hindsight is 20/20 haha).Both the ssds are working fine, as mentioned, and the pool is intact too (verified on my mac). But due to the component failures, I'm having to plug the 2nd ssd with a usb to m.2 adapter, and that means when I try to start the array with it it is being marked as wrong.Is there a easy fix to temporarily start the array until I can afford to replace the parts. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks.I've tried to search the forums and wasn't able to find a solution. If there's been a similar issue please link!
