Wiped all data?


Recommended Posts

So this is surely my fault...

A couple things happened.

 

I had a new SSD to install, and I was going to do so as an unassigned device (for temp download location).

While I was at it, I saw an error on drive 22. I've never used this slot, although I think I may have mounted my existing cache drive there once when first building the server.

Anyway, the error was something like "disk missing, files are emulated" - along those lines.

So I googled that error, and came across something showing that you can fix this by tools > new config.

A quick read of that showed what to do (i think)...

 

I selected to keep my cache and parity drives (cause they are correct with no errors atm).

I then see that all my data drives are unassigned.

I select all the data drives to be selected again.

So currently the parity drive, cache and data drives are all selected.

When I started the array, it done a parity check but showed all my data drives as unmountable (I'd need to format them again).

I cancelled the parity check after about 30 seconds, checked my drives with Krusader and it was saying they are empty.

I then stopped the array and started to panic.

Clearly I've done something wrong, unsure what exactly...

 

How do I go about getting this data back?

Fortunately I had nothing super important, just media, but a fair bit of it...

 

Thanks

Feeeew, all the data is there still.

I just needed to not mount the parity drive.

Now I can see all the disk usage, etc etc.

 

Can someone please explain what to do from here?

I don't want to break anything! :)

 

I just need to add back my parity drive and sync that.

Add an unassigned device to an SSD.
