Hi
Recently I have rebuilded by Nvidia raid 5.
I had four 500 gig drives in my raid 5.
Originally i had about 222 gig of free space out of 1.36 tb.
I was messing around and switching out cables and different sata ports and caused one of the drive to drop out of the raid.
So I started to rebuild the that drive. Well while it was rebuilding i turned the computer off the normal way by going to shut down. The next day it was stuck on 38 percent and would't move.
I mess around with a lot of stuff and was finally able to get it to keep on rebuild again by taking the entire raid controller offline and switch sata ports the raid uses.
When it finally rebuilded I have now 236 gig of free space left on my drive. My question is where did the extra free space came from? did I lost some data? I went and checked through the number of files I have on my raid and I could not find any missing files.
I did not do a resync all I did was a simple rebuild.
Does anyone have any ideas what could have caused this?
During the rebuild processes chkdsk was automatically performed on the raid drive when I started the computer and also I dont have any system restore points set up on this drive that could be taking up any space.
Thanks
