SOLVED - Lost after removing a disk from an encrypted array


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hello,

 

I use an encrypted array and I wanted to remove one disk from the array to use it as an unassigned disk.

 

I did new config but now I cannot start the array anymore because all drives are seen as new and Unraid asks for a new encryption key.

 

I have an old backup of my flash card I tried to restore. After restore Unraid does not asks for a new key anymore but because the disk configuration was different at the time I did this backup the array cannot start. If I do new config I reloop to the previous state with all disks seen as new and unraid asking for a new key.

 

I'm lost, what should I do at this stage to rebuild my encrypted array ? 

 

Thank you for your help

Just enter the old key.

RoooOOOO  I fell so stupid now. By entering twice my encryption key in "new encryption key" fields I was afraid my disks to be re-encrypted.

That works 100%

 

BIG THANK YOU tee-tee
