damnit. now both drives also degraded before i can do anything. but folder is still accessible.

RAID rebuild is the process of reconstructing RAID array in the event that a hard disk drive dies. RAID rebuild puts every data into its proper order keeping a copy of the data in the event that a hard drive mechanical failure happens. Once RAID rebuild takes place, data is reformatted with parity data & RAID algorithm.

If you’re already versed in the general failure process, you can skip ahead to how to replace a drive and repairing the pool.
