Question : Drive Failed and Another Drive Disabled (but good) : Force Enable?

Featured Replies

I had one drive fail and another drive is disable for no reason. 

 

I need to know to save my data on the failed drive and if I can tell UnRaid the disabled drive is fine and then rebuild the failed drive to a new drive. 

 

Is there a way to force a disabled drive as good?

There's a way that usually works, there are a few requirements:

 

-your parity has to be in sync

-running unRAID v6.1.5 or above

-replacement disk has to be the same size of the failed one.

 

Also post a screenshot of current array and diagnostics.

I ended up going with losing 2 TB of data after i figured out what was on the failed disk. 

 

I did a new config and kept both the failed disk and the disabled disk off the new config.

 

Then I redid the parity on the other drives.

 

Now I am copying the data back from the disabled disk and failed disk using unassigned devices to mount them by themselves and then move their data back to the user share. 

 

I believe this was the best way to do this. 

 

I am going to replace both disks one of them will become my second parity and the other will get a shinny new 4tb hard drive installed.

 

Thanks for taking the time to write a post to help me :)
