brent3000 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I have recently built out my UNRAID box using a custom SIlverstone case which is very tight fit cable wise, although a new box the PCU fan has started playing up and I'm going to have to RMA the unit which includes taking back all the cables etc. My question is, doing a PCU replacement will require me to disconnect the power sata cables to get easy access to the unit, if I incorrectly plug the sata cables into the wrong ports to the H/S unit, does UNRAID detect the array based on the HD Serial or the port its mapped to? Similar example if i mix up the drives, would it detect the relevant drives regardless of which port its connected to or would it require disk 1 be reconnected to the port disk 1 was originally found on for the setup? Trying to avoid any data loss if its reconnected incorrectly and thinking of using an external to do a quick backup of most of the data/settings (but short on external drives ) Quote Link to comment

SeeGee Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Is it the serial, or the uuid? Either way, unraid is smart enough to order the array drives as they were/should be, even if the device has a new /dev/sdX However, if you are using the "create new config" option, then you might want to make note of the order of assignment beforehand.
