So I woke up this morning to find 2 failed disks being emulated through dual parity. This is an issue I've dealt with before due to my current setup (upgrades coming very shortly), so I am not worried about the health of the drives. After rebooting, Unraid said they were unmountable, so I followed the steps (https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/using-unraid-to/manage-storage/file-systems/#checking-a-file-system) to repair the filesystem. The simplest xfs_repair through the web gui seemed to fix both of them, although I didnt realize at the time that it threw seemingly every file on both disks into the lost+found. The disks were still disabled/emulated, so I proceeded to start with them missing, add back and rebuild them from parity. I got 8.9% (1.77 TB) through before realizing that the files on the repairing disks were missing and I paused the rebuild.

Since I have already removed the disks and started the parity build, the contents of the two drives are still being emulated, meaning that I have/will not lose the data in lost+found, correct? So I can safely continue the parity rebuild?

The files in lost+found seem to be fine, so what is the next step/correct way to go about restoring them?

Thanks

If the emulated disks were not looking good, it may have been better to have done a new config ineta, assuming disks looked healthy.

If you already started the rebuild on top of the old disks, not much else you can do now other than try and sort the lost+found folders as best as possible.
