Does SoftRAID see a stripe volume portion on either disk? I don't think so. Attached is a shot from SoftRAID of the two disks.]]> Stripe Volumes bdphifer https://forums.softraid.com/stripe-volumes/replacing-a-going-to-fail-raid-0-disk/paged/2/#post-1576 https://forums.softraid.com/stripe-volumes/replacing-a-going-to-fail-raid-0-disk/paged/2/#post-1574 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 16:27:36 +0000 Stripe Volumes SoftRAID Support https://forums.softraid.com/stripe-volumes/replacing-a-going-to-fail-raid-0-disk/paged/2/#post-1574 https://forums.softraid.com/stripe-volumes/replacing-a-going-to-fail-raid-0-disk/#post-1571 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 13:30:40 +0000 Stripe Volumes bdphifer https://forums.softraid.com/stripe-volumes/replacing-a-going-to-fail-raid-0-disk/#post-1571 https://forums.softraid.com/stripe-volumes/replacing-a-going-to-fail-raid-0-disk/#post-1534 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 22:15:58 +0000 Stripe Volumes SoftRAID Support https://forums.softraid.com/stripe-volumes/replacing-a-going-to-fail-raid-0-disk/#post-1534 https://forums.softraid.com/stripe-volumes/replacing-a-going-to-fail-raid-0-disk/#post-1532 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 20:40:03 +0000 Stripe Volumes bdphifer https://forums.softraid.com/stripe-volumes/replacing-a-going-to-fail-raid-0-disk/#post-1532 https://forums.softraid.com/stripe-volumes/replacing-a-going-to-fail-raid-0-disk/#post-1531 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 20:36:52 +0000 disk3 is the source. My comments above are accurate. it may be best not to try to go forward with this plan, but backup/recreate the volume. At least you will know for certain, which file(s) are not readable. Using dd worked, but you have at least a 2MB portion of your volume (its a stripe) that contains damaged files and you don't know where that is. Thanks for the quick response! Part of me would like to avoid doing a d/l of 4+Tb, so I have a couple thoughts on solving that. 1) putting the old RAID back together and moving some (if not all) of the data to a third drive, then creating a new RAID with the good drive and the new one and moving back to there. 2) purchasing a new drive and creating a RAID from scratch. Then with the old RAID back together moving data to the new drive (or d/l if necessary). I think I can do the copy from the old RAID if I can put it together by going to the online back-up and see what was copied. My other question is whether the good drive of the old RAID is still OK. When all is done, can I just wipe it clean and use it for something? Is the 'bad' drive even good for anything? If I wipe that clean would it be useable ? (although not anything super-important since it's not in the best of shape) Again, I can't say how pleased I have been with the support from SoftRAID.
