I recently replaced a failing drive (drive 2), and I'm told my Parity is valid.

 

But now today, Drive 1 is red balling, and my shares are showing up as empty?

 

I'm hoping I have not lost any data, and still have the failing drive 2 that was being replacd , and just plugged it back into the system, but not part of the array.

 

Any ideas why my shares would show blank?  I do see various media when looking at some of the individual drives in the array, but, looks like I'm missing the info from Drive 1 still.

Unmenu also tells me that it is rebuilding Disk1, so unsure what is actually going on. 

 

supposedly going to take 9 - 10 hours, so hopefully it completes and I'll see what I have tonight.

 

Hopefully that resolves the empty share?

Something strange is definitely happening, and I'm hoping I have not lost any data.

 

After disk 1 completed its rebuild, I got a red ball immediately after on drieve2!!!!

 

Attach a syslog.

Here's the syslog after a reboot, and I am seeing some errors in it.

 

I think/hope my data is all there, but I can't seem to access it.

 

In general, all I did was replace a failing 1TB drive with a new 2TB drive.  My Parity and Cache drives are already 2TB drives as well.

 

I even have screen shots of the array before doing the drive swap.

 

But when I access my user shares, 99% of is missing.

syslog.txt

And here are the image of the before the drive change when everything was working fine.

 

And this is the post screen shot today that also appears ok, but I'm missing all my data.

 

ok, based on this error in the log

 

REISERFS error (device md1): vs-5150 search_by_key: invalid format found in block 91455490. Fsck?

 

and then some google searches, I put the array into maintenance mode and started a file system check on disk1

 

reiserfsck --check /dev/md1

 

It found 6 errors, and wanted to run --rebuild-tree.

 

After this I'll likely reboot as well and check the syslog again.

It took a while, but the repair, --rebuild-tree on the disk 1 appears to have fixed the disk.

 

I see most things now, and have a lost+found folder now as well, but can't identify to much.  From what I can tell, I think I mainly lost some ebooks.

 

I've reattached the latest syslog, and will likley run a disk check on disk 2 now as well.

 

But I've also noticed that I am not seeing disk one when I browse my network.  Instead I see disks 2 through 7 plus lost+found and my shares.  However, Disk 1 shows green in the array.
