bing281 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment
bing281 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment
