soana Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 This morning I decided to remove two drives from my cache pool. The cache pool consisted of 1Tb+500Gb+500Gb drives for a total of 1Tb. As a result of removing the two 500Gb drives the 1Tb is now un-mountable. Is there any option to recover data from the 1Tb or the two 500Gb drives? Reading the forums -after the fact- only one drive can be removed from the pool at a time and then rebalance before removing the second. I will try to put the two 500Gb back but in case this doesn't work I wanted to see if there are any options. Thank you. Quote Link to comment
testdasi Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 There isn't. RAID1 only allows you to lose up to half of your disks. Losing 2 in a 3-disk RAID 1 = more than half = lost data. 1 Quote Link to comment
soana Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Thanks, luckily I had a one week old backup for the data stored on the cache drive - up and running now. Quote Link to comment
