March 21Mar 21 Hi again,I originally posted here:https://forums.unraid.net/topic/197838-drive-configuration-list/#comment-1613687My issue was that my jump drive died and I didn't have a recent backup. Most of my disks had been upgraded to larger ones since then so the disk config was no longer valid.Anyway, I tried to follow the guide that the mod linked to me:https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/troubleshooting/common-issues/boot-and-startup-failures/#recovering-from-a-lost-boot-drive-and-unknown-parity-drives.The issue is that neither of the outlined approaches are working. When I try option #1, assigning all drives as data drives and mounting it won't let me start the array as it says: "You may not add new disk(s) and also remove existing disk(s)."So I went for option two but I am unable to mount any of the disks as it says it fails. In the logs it shows:"unassigned.devices: luksOpen result: Error: Passphrase or Key File not found."I know the passphrase but I am not sure where to go from here as it doesn't give me the option to mount it using the passphrase.Am I completely hosed at this point or is there still a method to get back up and running?Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me.

March 22Mar 22 Author edinburgh-diagnostics-20260322-0742.zipOk! I was able to do as you outlined. And here are the diagnostics.
March 23Mar 23 Author Correct. I had dual parity. So now I just need to assign those two disks to parity (parity will need to be rebuilt most likely) and keep the rest as data disks and start the array?

Double-check you assign the correct disk to the parity slots; if you assign a data disk, all data on that disk will be lost after array start.
March 24Mar 24 Author Thanks very much for your patience and helping me. I have followed your steps and it seems to be back up and running. So far I think I picked the correct two parity disks. Some of my docker containers aren't functioning but I imagine that should be fixable with just redoing them.Thanks again!
