January 14, 20206 yr I had a drive fail, I replaced the failed drive and did the rebuild. Now that the rebuild is complete I just have empty folders for data that was on the drive.

What did you do exactly (step by step)? Any diagnostics (Tools -> Diagnostics)? What do you expect to be on the drive? Rebuilding absolutely 100% certainly cannot cause what you have described.
January 14, 20206 yr Author Drive died, I checked the array found missing directories and subsequent files. Powered off unraid. Got a replacement drive removed the old drive installed the new drive began rebuild. Rebuild finished this morning found the missing folders but they do not contain any files. Although the rebuild is complete the replacement drive only shows 30gb in use, previous drive was at roughly 2.8tb. teletraan-1-diagnostics-20200114-1016.zip Edited January 14, 20206 yr by Juise99

If you did it would have created an empty file system and updated parity to reflect this.

I thought that was what was supposed to happen too. Nothing had been written to that drive in months, and it was all older data that was/is missing.
January 14, 20206 yr Community Expert Disk3 had a corrupt filesystem, just needed a filesystem check, instead you formatted disk3 deleting all data, I guess the new warning didn't do much good:

It's very possible I missed the warning, just a had a newborn and havent slept more then 4 hours straight in 2 weeks.
January 14, 20206 yr Community Expert Note that you can't re-add disk3 to the array (without a new config), so try to mount it with UD, if needed check filesystem, then copy data to array, if the old disk is failing it might still be possible to salvaged some/most data with for example ddrescue.
