April 1, 201511 yr Yes, the disk is still attached internally to SATA. I have Norco 4220. Can I simply MC into it without enabling it in the array? It will need to be mounted first. I would typically use commands of the form: mkdir /mnt/tmp mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/tmp If those complete without error then the drive will be available at /mnt/tmp. I finally was able to complete the rebuilt and a clean parity check. I think that two of my WD EARS 2TB drives failed. The rebuild completed successfully, but running parity check generated a lot of errors. Tried a third 3TB seagate and that seemed to complete with no errors. I am copying the contents from the old drive over to the array. Once the copy finishes do I need to unmount the old drive an remove the tmp directory? It is good practise to umount the drive when you are finished with it, but if you happen to shutdown the unRAID server the system would do it automatically for you. Whether you remove the /mnt/tmp mount point is up to you. It is only an entry in RAM anyway so will be lost the next time unRAID is booted. I actually added a few lines to my 'go' file to create some standard mount points each time unRAID is booted so they are immediately available if I want them. Having such a mount point and not actually using it no problem.
