Just copying half a terra of photo's now, after that i will turn it off, remove the correct disks, boot in rescue mode, see if i can completly destroy disk C (or fix it...) and then shutdown, put disks back in, boot.

I will let you know. Copy-ing the photo's will take some time so have to wait for that.. don't want to loose those, i can live without the movies and series and music i collected.

Can i just remove the correct disks while doing the procedure? That would make sure i won't delete any data right?

No prob i can call international that's not the issue

1) yes about 7TB
2)despite your signature... i went skydiving without a parachute

Can i just whipe disk 2 and then add it to the raid? It's in a degraded state now so i shouldn;t use that disk. But if another fails i'm screwed.....

Ohh the location question makes me think there is alot wrong, but i'm no where near you i live in the Netherlands Physically near the nas though.

Raid degraded, cannot add disk

Yes i replaced a disk in the array, i added a 4TB instead of a 3TB so i can slowly make the transition to 4TB drives.

Funny it shows as ZFS member, because the disk that is replaced is not that disk. I had a few reinstalls after changing the disk though.(initial setup was 4x3TB, then i went to a disk array (20x2TB)and when i got the energy bill i went back to 3x3TBand 1x4TB. I actually made a new array, on a different microserver(i borrowed one) and copied all data from my external enclosure to internal disks. then destroyed the external enclosure.

Yes, but the layout of my reply got messed up. I copied everything from your post in the correct order.
The one thing i think is weird is the response on

So my 4 disk Raid 5 is degraded in a clean state, and i can see the 4th disk in OMV but i just cannot add it to the raid to recover it.
I saw i needed to post this info, so here goes .

Feb 3rd 2018
So i did a complete reinstall of OMV... And guess what, same issue???

EDIT: And another reinstall, directly after reinstalling i added the OMV extras repo and installed plex.. Still the same issue, getting ready to throw the nas out of the window.
Plex media server won't start

Feb 2nd 2018
After reinstalling Plex it wil not start anymore. Needed to reinstall because for some weird reason it wouldn't connect to my parents tv as i moved the nas to their house.

Tried the uninstall, apt-clean, restart, instal, restart,

Did some searching and got some more details;

And then the Crash Report has no errors

all out of ideas now, and due to all the rsync jobs and configuring, i really don't like the thought of reinstalling (omv) yet again
