Hi MammaGutt,
Is that possible to make the drive 5 online first? We may replace a new one but just want to prevent the data loss before we can replace it. Please advise.
Thanks,
Andrew

The node is your biggest problem and I don’t see a way to start another place. It is also the most critical as if your last node dies, you have nothing. Drive capacity is rebuilt using spare capacity (and free capacity as long as you have free space), so you would need to run out of space or have multiple disk failures at the same time for data loss to happen.
