flic Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) What should I do to recover Disk #3? Disk #4 has no data Edited August 2, 2020 by flic Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Since you only have single parity, you can only recover 1 missing disk. You have 2 missing disks. Doesn't matter whether or not there is data on any of them. How did you get to a place where you have 2 missing disks? Go to Tools - Diagnostics and attach the complete Diagnostics ZIP file to your NEXT post in this thread. Quote Link to comment
flic Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Last thing I did is to Gather a folder (out of the Disk4 to Disk3) with unBalance plugin. Then I cleared the stats and boom! 1st the Disk4 had the red X the same for Disk3 a few seconds later. server-diagnostics-20200802-1627.zip Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Looks like disk4 is the one that is disabled and needs to be rebuilt. But neither disk is showing in SMART. Do you have any reason to think they are both dead? Check all connections, SATA and power, both ends, including splitters. Then post new diagnostics. Quote Link to comment
flic Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 when I pushed on the disk power cable, I heard the drive spinning up. Now its up and greed so, I just have to remove Disk4, Start the array then shut it down and put back the Disk4, right? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Do you actually want disk4? Sounds like you might have been working towards removing it. Quote Link to comment
flic Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 I do. its just that Disk3 had a few gigs left. Once full then Disk4 will be in service Quote Link to comment
