I am trying to repair OMV Array and I assume I have to remove a malfunctioning device from the RAID 5 Array in OMV before pulling the malfunctioning 2 TB HDD from the server. The problem is, I can't get OMV to load as it sees a dirty file system and is stuck on repair before raising the network(i.e., "A start job is running for LSB: Raise network interfaces."). I see in logs "kicking non-fresh sda from array!" and "raid level 5 active with 4 of 5 devices algorithm 2". I am also seeing references to 0xe frozen (I assume this is the malfunctioning drive) . I also see fsck failed with error code 4.
I am attaching some screen captures.
Questions:
1. Is a reinstall of OMV required?
2. Can I just pull the malfunctioning drive and replace and assume the errors will resolve so I can add the new drive to the array and rebuild?
Hoping someone can help? I backed up the array before I lost access to the server. I just wish to avoid rebuilding it if I can.
