I have a 7 disk parity storage space that I was trying to move a 3 TB drive from a USB interface to internal SATA. When I did not the drive was recognized by the system but not by the storage space. To work around this I removed the what storage space saw as the USB drive and added the SATA drive to the storage space. The problem is that it has been stuck at Repairing (0%) for two days now. I had redundancy so I can still access my data. How do I resolve this issue. Is there a way to get it to restart the repair?
Hi CPbaseball
If a basic disk containing part of a RAID-5 volume is disconnected or fails, its status becomes Failed Redundancy and the disk status remains Online. If this happens, you can try to repair the volume. The RAID-5 status of the volume should change to Regenerating and then Healthy. However,Repairing a RAID-5 volume on a basic disk requires an additional basic disk with sufficient free space for part of the RAID-5 volume. If the disk containing part of the RAID-5 volume cannot be reactivated and the volume does not return to the Healthy status, replace the failed stripe in the RAID-5 volume.
