loady Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 i was trying to use a spare hdd to add as an unassigned disk so i could dump some films to it, i inadvertently unplug one of my drives and it reported as missing, i plugged it straight back in correctly and it showed up as a new device and when i started the array its now doing a data rebuild..why is this ?...the data was valid before it got unplugged, also during the data rebuild would this stop the dockers from working ? they are running but i have no access to them. seems that anytime this gets touched i get a whole heap of headaches.

Squid Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Its because it was reported as missing. Unraid has no idea if that drive's contents got modified while it was missing (or if a not her write happened to a file on that drive) hence the rebuild. This is the proper way to guarantee that the contents on that drive are correct. I'm a big fan of hot swap cases so that inadvertent pulling out of cables cannot happen Link to comment
loady Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 ok..thts good to know. i am a fan of hotswap bays, i actually have one in the server but for some reason i have one of my array disks in it..think i just done that to get use out of it..might put it internal and keep the hotswap empty Link to comment
