May 28, 20206 yr Hi, all. I seem to have lost my parity drive as it shows disabled. I've checked my SATA and power cables and they seem to be fine as the BIOS detects the drive. I'm also able to run SMART tests on the drive. Attached are the diagnostics I just ran. Any help is greatly appreciated - thanks in advance! via-nas01-diagnostics-20200527-2029.zip
May 28, 20206 yr Community Expert First check filesystem on disk1 since it's unmountable, then re-sync parity, and if it happens again make sure you grab the diags before rebooting, you should also upgrade Unraid and fix the advanced buttons plugin spamming your log.

Thanks for the quick reply, Johnnie. Sorry for the delay on my end. I did what you suggested and my data drive is now back online. I started the parity sync but it is going extremely slow. Thanks in advance! Edited June 4, 20206 yr by QPlus7
June 4, 20206 yr Author I think I found the problem. My disk2 looks to be trashed. I'm currently trying to copy everything off of it to an external drive and will be replacing it. I don't think I can replace the drive right now since I don't have a valid parity drive, correct? My hope is to save whatever I can off of the disk, replace it, copy everything back to the new disk, and then sync the parity drive.

Can I replace the drive once I've copied (currently using rsync from disk2 to an external drive) the data? Am I screwed since I lost my parity drive? I'm confused as to what my best approach would be in order to secure the rest of my data. Should I start copying everything from the array to an external drive and then replace the drive/rebuild the array?
