I have one drive that has the orange triangle and is currently rebuilding from the parity drive. Now I have another drive that is still green but is showing as Unmountable File System. What should I do? Do I stop the parity rebuild? Is my setup completely hosed because I'm down two drives with one parity drive?

Failed/disable drive and corrupt filesystem are two completely different things, let the rebuild continue for now and post your diagnostics.

Ok so the drive that is unmountable can still be read from for the rebuilding process? That makes me feel a bit better. I'll let the parity continue to rebuild.

Correct.

Ah  you meant now not when the rebuild was finished. Attached.

You didn't mention the read errors on disk6, that is more serious, and the fact that is a know ticking timing bomb ST3000DM001 with pending sectors doesn't bode well.

 

Luckily no read errors so far after the rebuild started, so let it continue, there are several timeout errors on disk3, but it appears to be recovering so let it run for now, but you should check those cables in the end.

 

If the rebuild finishes you want to replace disk6 asap before attempting to fix its filesystem.
