ibasaw Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) hi, i had a disk failure, bad sector, and after the disk not responding. i removed it physically from the server. i remove the bad disk for all shares where it was present. I had moved all content to another one, then i had deleted all content on the failed disk on /mnt/diskx After i run mover, and do a parity check, result OK : valid But i got all my shares which are marked: some or all files are unprotected My content is safe on the new disk, parity is valid, mover was invoke many times, why i got theses mentions on all my shares.

itimpi Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 It looks like you currently seem to have 8 drives set up in the array but only 6 physical drives + 2 parity drives. The missing array drives are being emulated using the combination of the other data drives plus the 2 parity drives. A screen shot of the Main tab would confirm this. Quote Link to comment

ibasaw Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) 1 - i replaced the 2 drives 2- i removed the 2 drives form the array What is faster ? how to avoid another parity check ? I think i will remove them, because i have enought place for now, no need empty disk in my array Edited October 20, 2020 by ibasaw Quote Link to comment

ibasaw Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 i had removed the 2 drives and rebuild, now all is fine. Quote Link to comment
