Ok the fix is complete.. and about 1tb of files are unrecovered. I see many unrecoverable files. This is really pathetic. I did not really expect this from SnapRAID. The one time my disk crashed, and i lost so many family pictures, that was stored on my disks since years. I have been running sync every week.

I have a 2 disk parity. Leifi, thanks, tomorrow (friday I am working from home). I will follow your instructions and see how it goes. Will post back results and keep you updated.

I ran the sync on 1st June. on the 15th June I copied over 10 movies to disk G:\ (this is a part of the pool). Now my the disk that has crashed is F:\ (disk...
