September 6, 20169 yr I stopped the array. Selected the new drive to be disk 3. (All the drives are the same WD 3TB) Disk 3 comes up as a new device (blue square), but then I can't start the array anymore. I think I'm missing a step.
September 6, 20169 yr Community Expert You should have a checkbox "yes, I'm sure" or something similar next to the start button, after checking it array will start and the new disk will be cleared.

September 6, 20169 yr Completely OT but http://t1.someimage.com/QBFZ94x.jpg[/img] vs http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/a/af/5429983_std.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130614082116[/img] I think someone needs new glasses
September 6, 20169 yr Author Sorry here is the whole page (minus serial numbers) i don't see the check box mentioned.
September 6, 20169 yr Community Expert I don't know if there should be a checkbox. Since the Start button is already enabled I would guess not. Post a diagnostic.
September 6, 20169 yr I remember there was an issue with one of the beta's not showing the checkbox. it happened to me and I had to roll back to add a new disk.
September 6, 20169 yr Community Expert It's a b21 bug, update to latest rc. I believe there's no checkbox in this situation but you'll be able to start the array.
September 10, 20169 yr Author added drive now all shares are gone? Does this mean all the data is gone now too? or is there a way to restore the shares?
September 10, 20169 yr Community Expert added drive now all shares are gone? Does this mean all the data is gone now too? or is there a way to restore the shares? Extremely unlikely data is gone. Exactly how did you add a drive? And post a diagnostic.
September 10, 20169 yr Author Will boot the system back up to get diagnostic. All I did to add the drive was, went to main tab, Array Devices, disk 3 changed from unassigned to the drive I wanted to add. Selected Start array (bring array online and start clearing new data disk) Every was working fine after that. (yesterday) Once the 3rd disk was cleared all the Shares were gone. (today after work)
September 10, 20169 yr Author I guess after the new 3rd drive was done being cleared, all it needed was a reboot and all the shares are visible again Looks like it was a simple case of sh#t up and reboot. Thanks.
