subwars Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hi, i'm in a bit of trouble. I replaced a fan in a norco 5in3 cage yesterday, blew all the dust out and tied up sata cables yesterday. This morning i noticed disk 4 was disabled.. ok probably just a loose cable i'm thinking. did the stop remove readd thing, checked smart and did a short smart, all fine. so started a rebuild. 10mins later it was disabled again, grrr, dicky cable i'm thinking now. so moved the drive to a spare slot. Restarted it, half an hour in still running all good i'm thinking. Just checked it again, a good hour later, and parity 1 (have 2 parities) and disk 2 are disabled now as well.. shiiiit Shut down hope that wasn't a bad move. checked all cabling.. going to buy all new cables i think now. restarted and still at the same parity 1 and disk 2 red cross. disk 4 is actually showing orange emulated atm. Both 2 and 4 under used data says unmountable. Now the data on disk 4 is i'm sure out of wack after it had a rebuild running on it. But i do know that parity 1 and disk 2's data is fine atm. What can i do how can i force it to reaccept the 2 disks back into the array without loosing data at this point? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 This should work (assuming all disks are indeed healthy): -take a screenshot of current array -tools -> new config -assign all disks to the original slots, double check all assignments, order is important to keep parity2 valid. -very important, check the box "parity is already valid" before starting array -start array -stop array -unassign disk4 (select "no device") and start array -check that the emulated disk4 mounts and data looks OK -if all looks good, stop array, re-assign disk4 and start array to beguin rebuild Quote Link to comment
