Pool shows disk missing, shows up twice in pool (1 missing, 1 active)

[motonuke]

I was rebooting my system after a drive upgrade and now my pool status is "Missing Disk". The missing disk is shown as missing, but also shows up right below it as part of the pool.

What is the proper way to deal with this "ghost disk" without losing data? It does not show up twice in disk management or anywhere else. It appears to be perfectly fine and accessible within Windows Explorer and all data appears to be intact at the moment.

System info:

Windows 2016 (VMware VM)

HP H220 HBA in passthrough

Version 2.2.2.934

Appreciate any guidance!

Restart the service.  That may fix the issue. 

If that doesn't work, then try using this:

Even though it's a single pool, the principle will be the same. Move everything out of the PoolPart folder, delete it, remove the missing disk from the pool, readd the disk, and then move the data into the new PoolPart folder. 

 

Otherwise, resetting the settings will fix the issue.

Thanks for the quick response. I tried restarting the service, but wasn't optimistic since this issue persisted through reboots.

I did the move data method and it appears to have worked, however I now have 2 Poolpart folders in the root if the drive. I'm going to leave well enough alone, but should I be concerned about this?

Thanks!

Multiple is fine, as long as they're not both "active".

I think you have a ticket for this issue, as well.  

Either way, I'd like to set up a remote support session with you, so we can take a look directly, and see about correcting this issue for you.
(in case it matters, this would be at "no charge")
