Failing drive failed before I could "Remove" it. Now it's "Missing", DP is stuck....

[montejw360]

Had a drive that I was going to remove, but had to remove another first. This one failed before I could Remove it, now DP shows the drive as Missing. The Remove option doesn't seem to work on a Missing drive. And I can't get DP to re-measure the Duplication, it just says Missing Disk above the progress bar. 

 

What can I do?

Well if the disk is missing, the "remove disk" option should work and work pretty much instantly. 

 

If it's not, then could you run this:

And then try resetting the settings:

I'll try those. I'm also trying to just recover/repair the disk. Hadn't thought about that before.

Used the troubleshooter. Looked like a big file. Reset DP, it's going now. Just hope I haven't lost any files since I removed 2 drives and the duplication hadn't been completed after the first drive was removed. The second drive just up and died before duplication from removing the first drive was finished.

Well, glad to hear that it's running properly now. 

 

As for lost files, depends on how you removed the disks.  Via the UI, then no, you shouldn't have any.  Otherwise, check for a "PoolPart" folder on the drive. If there is anything there, copy it back into the pool.
