April 13, 20206 yr Author Disk nr. 8 have some issues... So I decided to remove it. What I was thinking to do is to remove the disk without replacing it with a new one. Which is the best way to move all data from it to other disk? Thanks
April 13, 20206 yr Author Update... I was following a guide how to do it but apparently I f...ed up everything! This is what I did: 1) Stopped the array 2) Unassigned the disk 3) Start the array again According to the guide this would have started a data rebuilt on the remaining disks (that did not happened). So stopped the array again and I re-assigned the disk but now it says that it is a new device and the system is trying to rebuilt data on that disk (that I do not want to use because is faulty). What should I do now?

Don't know what guide you were seeing but that's not correct, doing that will start the array with the missing disk emulated, and what you did after will rebuild the same disk on top. Disk8 does appear to have some issues, if you still want to removed it from the array you need to do a new config and re-sync parity, is there still any data on that disk?
April 13, 20206 yr Author Disk 8 does have issues and that is why I wanted to remove it. Yes there is plenty of data on the disk I would like to transfer (that is actually what I wanted to do from the beginning). I have plenty of space available on the array and I was trying to avoid to add a new disk and do data rebuilt.
April 13, 20206 yr Community Expert Then unassign it again, start the array and copy/move all data from disk8 to the array, Unraid never moves data from one array disk to another, you can use your favourite tool or for example the Unbalance plugin.
April 13, 20206 yr Community Expert After that is done you still need to do a new config and resync parity.
April 13, 20206 yr Author Will do Just to be sure how shall I copy/move all data from disk8 to the array? I really do not want to make mistakes this time

April 13, 20206 yr Author unBalance says that the disk is basically empty... And was not before all this mess (was like 3.6 Tb of data in it...). Am I missing something?
April 13, 20206 yr Community Expert Post new diags, but better to reboot first since syslog was already incomplete on the latest ones.
April 13, 20206 yr Community Expert Disk8 is completely empty, did you format it at any time during this?
April 13, 20206 yr Community Expert 19 minutes ago, gideva said: No. Nothing done. That's not possible, either disk8 was already empty or it was formatted. Best bet now is to mount the original disk8 with UD and copy whatever you can to the array, you'll still need to do a new config and resync parity to get rid of the emulated disk8.
April 13, 20206 yr Author Surely I did something but without realizing.... I am trying to mount it in UD but it does not let me do it ( I click on mount it tries but it does not mount at all)...

April 13, 20206 yr Community Expert Go to Settings -> Unassigned Devices and change the UUID of that filesystem, it's the last option in the UD settings page.
April 13, 20206 yr Author I am sorry to give you this pain... Here it is monstruo-diagnostics-20200413-1932.zip
April 13, 20206 yr Community Expert You need to check filesystem on that disk, on the console type: xfs_repair -v /dev/sdj1 note the 1 in the end, if it asks for -L use it: xfs_repair -vL /dev/sdj1
