Recovering a v5 array


Recommended Posts

I have an older Unraid array I'd like to recover.  The controller was removed from the system a while back.  I know which drives are which (all 15).  The old controller supported 16 drives.  The new will consist of MB, a 4 port SATA board, and a Supermicro controller. How would I go about adding drives/ bringing up the array and save the existing data?

If you still have the USB flash drive you were using before then it's possible it will just boot up without any problems. There is some small chance that changing controllers will cause the drive identifiers to appear different and so worst case you might have to just reassign the drives as they were before and do a parity check (though parity should still be valid if it was before).
