August 16, 20178 yr This is what happened: One disk (disk8) had reallocated sectors so I pulled it, installed a replacement and started the array. The replacement disk showed up as unmountable, the option to format it was available but I didn't choose, I went with the parity rebuild. Some time later, the parity rebuild was canceled (never mind why) Now, it says the parity is valid, the disk is still unmountable (won't show up in mc) and the gui still has the format option enabled. What I want is to rebuild disk 8. Is it possible Attaching diagnostics hal-diagnostics-20170816-1534.zip Edited August 16, 20178 yr by jbrodriguez
August 16, 20178 yr Community Expert No point in rebuilding. Parity cannot fix an unmountable disk. You must try to repair the filesystem.
August 16, 20178 yr Community Expert Like trurl mentioned rebuilding won't fix the filesystem, but since the disk is still disable you'll need to rebuild it before or after repairing the filesystem, in this case I would rebuild after if it only needs --fix-fixable, before if it needs --rebuild-tree, run reiserfsck --check first: https://wiki.lime-technology.com/Check_Disk_Filesystems#Drives_formatted_with_ReiserFS_using_unRAID_v5_or_later Edited August 16, 20178 yr by johnnie.black
August 16, 20178 yr Author Thanks trurl & johnnie.black ! reiserfsck --check pointed me at --rebuild-tree Let's see how it goes.
