Morning/Afternoon all,

 

I had up until yesterday been using three SSD's as my cache drive. I had 1 x 240 G and 2 x 120 G I cant for the life of me remember how I did it as its been well over a year since I set it up but it was set up to show 1 cache drive 480 odd GB in size.

 

Well the 240 GB drive crapped itself yesterday leaving me with the 2 x 120 GB drives. The problem is I am having issues getting the cache drives to mount.

 

I would have thought that creating a new config and retain the parity drive and data drives only would allow me to basically start a fresh cache pool but this doesnt seem to be the case.

 

I little help on how to get the cache pool back up and running would be much appreciated. If I can save the data that was on it even better but Im not holding my breath.

 

A side note, Im a hardware man so if It requires me using command lines and what not please be patient and dumb it down for me.

That means the pool profile was changed to single, so if one device is missing the data is gone, at least most of it, if want you can see if anything is recoverable but even if it works there will be a lot of missing or incomplete data:

 

 

Then you need to reformat the pool with just the 2 remaining devices, next to the start array button.

That did the trick.

Saw the format but didnt want to do anything until I was sure I would do something wrong.
