Hi all, I have a failed disk in the array. It is being emulated by parity. If I copy the emulated folders to a healthy disk via the shares manager (e.g. /emulated-failed-disk/folderA to /disk5), when I replace the failed disk and rebuild the array, and the emulated disk disappears, will Unraid automatically take care of the replacement?
Common sense says everything should reappear as normal except the data will go and eventually overflow from a different array disk, but am I right in supposing so?
Thanks for any clarification.

When you replace an emulated disk and it is rebuilt then whatever was showing on the emulated disk before the rebuild is what will appear on the physical disk after the rebuild. No need, therefore, to copy the existing contents elsewhere first unless you want to protect against the rebuild failing for some reason.

Thank you. Since this is the first time it happens I'd rather play it safe and make an extra copy in case rebuild fails, I'll check the rebuild operation so I know what to expect next time.

Thanks
