August 25, 20178 yr So this is surely my fault... A couple things happened. I had a new SSD to install, and I was going to do so as an unassigned device (for temp download location). While I was at it, I saw an error on drive 22. I've never used this slot, although I think I may have mounted my existing cache drive there once when first building the server. Anyway, the error was something like "disk missing, files are emulated" - along those lines. So I googled that error, and came across something showing that you can fix this by tools > new config. A quick read of that showed what to do (i think)... I selected to keep my cache and parity drives (cause they are correct with no errors atm). I then see that all my data drives are unassigned. I select all the data drives to be selected again. So currently the parity drive, cache and data drives are all selected. When I started the array, it done a parity check but showed all my data drives as unmountable (I'd need to format them again). I cancelled the parity check after about 30 seconds, checked my drives with Krusader and it was saying they are empty. I then stopped the array and started to panic. Clearly I've done something wrong, unsure what exactly... How do I go about getting this data back? Fortunately I had nothing super important, just media, but a fair bit of it... Thanks
August 25, 20178 yr Author Feeeew, all the data is there still. I just needed to not mount the parity drive. Now I can see all the disk usage, etc etc. Can someone please explain what to do from here? I don't want to break anything! I just need to add back my parity drive and sync that. Add an unassigned device to an SSD.
August 25, 20178 yr Community Expert That's a bug on v6.4, first array start after a new config will result in all unmountable data disks, stopping and re--starting the array fixes it.
