gacpac Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) I think I got myself in some deep stuff. The first time I did it I guess I was just lucky. Long story short I wanted replace my cache 128gb to a bigger 240gb. Instead of copying manually, I decided to add the 2nd cache via usb to the pool as Raid 1 (Which is what I did the first time). It synced, I removed 128gb, cache kept working fine. But when I decided to move from usb to sata. I got this I mean Raid 1 shouldn't delete data. I should be able to mount it at least, but I don't know what can I do FYI I'm using btrfs Edited July 21, 2019 by gacpac Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 USB can change the ID of a device, and Unraid would consider that a new device, did you get a missing device when changing from USB? Quote Link to comment
gacpac Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 nope. I didn't, i got the same name but it went straight blue detecting as new device. That I've seen it before, but when you start the array the information if there's any normally comes back. This time it gave me that error which throw me off completely, because i put it back and it happened the same. I lost it Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Well if it was blue it wasn't being detected as the previous device, buts as a new device, you should also have seen a warning similar to "any data on this device will be deleted", I believe there's not much you can do now since the superblock was likely destroyed, you can try these recovery options but without a valid superblock none will work.

gacpac Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 valid superblock? what is that Also, I've seen that before when putting drives back into the array or doing a new config. At least for the data drives unraid doesn't delete. But well, I'll try the recovery options and if it doesn't work I have an appdata backup of a week ago Quote Link to comment

I tried. I'm sure the data is there but this is not like windows. Look, This is me using a software that truly recovers data and can find btrfs "Reclaime" but the file system structure looks different from what I see in the browser. Anyway, I think I'll be starting over. Edited July 20, 2019 by gacpac Quote Link to comment
gacpac Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) Guys do a backup using the backup/restore appdata plugin and copy the VMs you have somewhere else. Make sure you do the libvirt file as well, thankfully the plugin also allows you to backup that It's not cool when the ssd breaks. Yes, you can recover the data with a lot of effort, but it's not cool. Thanks I had a previous backup from a week ago. Edited July 21, 2019 by gacpac Quote Link to comment

You get the blue icon after a new config, but without the "data on this device will be deleted" warning, when a cache device gets a blue icon and the warning, data will be deleted.

gacpac Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 The warning mentions it will deleted data at array start, and that's when it does it, it wipes the previous filesystem, the superblock.Ooooh. That makes more sense.But hang on, when I was trying to make it work, I used the new config tool. And it gave me that message with the parity. I continue but the parity came back as I had it. Unless, It's actually deleted and I'm fine because I have the data drives. (I used the option parity is already valid) Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Just now, gacpac said: (I used the option parity is already valid) Using this option will not overwrite parity, though the GUI don't reflect that, it shows the warning with or without it checked. Quote Link to comment

But man it got me there. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
