November 27, 20205 yr I had a drive failed so i powered the system off and put a new drive in and ran the parity rebuild. It said it finished but now i am seeing Unmountable No File System for that disk. Any help is appreciated. tower-diagnostics-20201126-2107.zip
November 27, 20205 yr Community Expert Handling a drive shown as Unmountable is covered here in the online documentation that can be accessed by using the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the Unraid GUI. The chances are that you have file system corruption. some questions: Did the drive really fail, or did you assume that it had failed because it had a red ‘x’ in the Unraid GUI. Unraid will disable a drive when a write to it fails and often the drive itself is fine and the write failed for other reasons. do you still have the ‘failed’ drive available if needed for data recovery purposes. did the ‘emulated’ drive show as unmountable before you attempted the rebuild? A rebuild just makes a physical drive match the emulated one, it does not fix any file system errors. were any errors shown in the Unraid GUI during the rebuild process?
November 27, 20205 yr Author The failed drive showed to be emulated then I rebooted and it showed unmountable that's when I put a new drive in. The old drive is still available but it will not read on any machines I have tried to read it on.

A rebuild does not clear such a state since all the rebuild does is make a physical drive match the emulated one. The check/repair can be run on the ‘emulated’ disk before a rebuild but since you have already done the rebuild it will happen against the new physical disk.
December 2, 20205 yr Author Thanks so much! That solved my issue. I repaired it and the files came back. Put the new drive in and ran a rebuild and all is good.
