parity drive is disabled

[brettgavin]

Hi,

 

I removed the wrong disk from the server and ended up pulling one of my parity drives. I can't get the parity drive to be used again- it is labelled with the red X. How can I get it to be used again?

 

I have attached the diags.

 

 

Thanks!

Once a disk is kicked from the array, the normal method of getting it back in is to rebuild it.

 

If absolutely no writes were done to the array after the disk was removed, you can do a new config and include the kicked disk in its proper place, and tell unRaid that parity is valId. This can be risky with a data disk is you are wrong, and there were writes when the disk was being emulated. 

 

If in doubt, go with option 1. Always run a parity check after option 2. Suggest a non-correcting check first, and if a few errors are found, run the correcting check. If you get beaucoup errors, ask questions about next steps.
