jtroberts Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 My parity disk went offline and I could not bring it online. I did a reboot to see if that would fix it and it did not. I then removed the failed parity drive, put in a new drive. Powered on, and now a data drive is offline. This leaves me with no parity and a failed data drive. ouch! So I thought let's try to put the original parity drive back in and use a new SATA connector, fantastic, the drive comes up. I choose the OLD parity drive in the GUI, but the system thinks this drive is "NEW" and as such because there is also a failed data drive I cannot start the array. So the question I think is this... How do I get Unraid to use the old/original parity drive to bring the array up. then use the parity bits to re-build the failed data drive. I have made ZERO changes other than what's described. Please help. thanks Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 You can force a rebuild but first thing is to check if there's really a problem with disk7, swap cables with another disk, if still missing please post the diagnostics: Tools -> Diagnostics Quote Link to comment
jtroberts Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 sorry for the late reply. that's exactly what I did. Changed the cable for disk 7. reboot and disk 7 came online. then I ran a parity check. all good. Quote Link to comment
