March 24, 201610 yr I upgrade from 5.0 rc14 to 6.1.9 with a clean install. I was notified that Disk 4 was disabled and content was emulated. I took out Disk 4 and noticed the serial number and drive was different from what is showing in my main dashboard. The dashboard states that I have a 3TB TOSHIBA DRIVE installed, but when I went to remove and replace it, it is actually a 2TB SEAGATE. With the array stopped, it states that the Parity Status DATA IS INVALID. I have not restarted the array. The new 3TB drive that I installed in the #4 slot is not being recognized. I'm freaking.... Here are screenshots of my before and after dashboards etc.. and I attached a syslog if that means anything. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/45u30yx13q62sjw/AADbJLFWkJ6mouM6hgzmGo93a?dl=0 Thank you in advance for any assistance. tower-syslog-20160324-1058.zip
March 24, 201610 yr Community Expert I would think it was odds-on that disk4 was not connected where you thought it was and that you actually ended up removing one of the other drives. What does the main tab show with the drive removed? What is the serial number of the drive you removed?
March 24, 201610 yr I don't understand. Both config screens are the same. In the syslog, it boots with the Toshiba as Disk 4, but is not included in the spinups so was probably red-balled before boot. Then you briefly unassigned the Toshiba then quickly reassigned it as Disk 4 again. It doesn't show a Seagate ever assigned as Disk 4. If you physically removed a drive that turned out was a Seagate, then it wasn't where the real Disk 4 was installed. By the way, it's always best to include the full Diagnostics (Tools -> Diagnostics), not just the syslog.
March 24, 201610 yr Author Yes, the config screens are the same. But disk 4's slot shows TOSHIBA_DT01ACA300-Y57J80LKS (sdi) 2930266532. When I pulled the drive it was SEAGATE 5YD554QPm. All other drives map perfectly. It shows disk 4 as bad, I pulled it and replaced it. Regardless of the drive identification, the new drive will not show up in drive 4's place to override. I found an old screenshot of my dashboard, attached.
March 24, 201610 yr Author I run Mac and have no programming experience. Would I check it via permissions in disc utility?
March 24, 201610 yr Author Even when I reboot with the drive empty, the system shows the Toshiba drive still mounted.
March 24, 201610 yr To get unRAID to 'forget' a drive, you have to start the array, briefly if necessary, to set the new array config without that drive.
March 24, 201610 yr Author After bringing the config online now my disk 4 shows unassigned, but the new drive I place in bay 4 is not visible - amazingly, that (bad and now removed) TOSHIBA drive is an option to mount. It doesn't want to forget it.

It doesn't want to forget it. It really seems like there must be some confusion about which disk you think corresponds to disk 4. Bay 4 is not necessarily disk 4. Since you say the disk in bay 4 is not visible, perhaps there is something wrong with bay 4. But obviously unRAID thinks disk 4 is the Toshiba, and it can see that drive. Are you absolutely sure that Toshiba drive is not attached anywhere?
