I have the worst luck. I had been having some problems with drivepool (turns out it was a failing disk that was the problem). I removed the disk from the pool and all problems went away. Unfortunately, I had to turn off duplication when I lost the disk intending to get another ASAP. As luck would have it, I lost a 2nd disk about 10 days later (with no duplication). Scanner didn't detect any problems beforehand, and drivepool just suddenly reported "disk missing from pool". I pulled the disk out and verified that it's not spinning up at all. I am going to get a replacement circuit board and have the firmware transferred in hopes of resurrecting. My question is: I use my pool primarily for a media server. I'm not sure what data I lost; however, some of my automated processes have stopped working, so I recognized some of the config files were missing, so I was going to reinstall. However, now I'm getting a "access denied" and permission needed errors when I try to write to the pool. Nothing I have done resolves it. I'm assuming this is by design to protect the pool while the disk is missing? I also assume maybe it would resolve these issues if I "remove" the damaged disk from the pool. However, would I be able to "re-add" the disk back to the pool and it would be recognized with the data it previously had if the repair attempt is successful? Or would I just need to connect the drive up and manually move the data back over? Am I on the right track with what I'm thinking here? Thanks in advance.
