Question AMD RAIDXpert2 reports hard drive as "removed"

[Crok]

I have suddenly lost the RAID 0 array on my system and had the RAID 1 marked as critical. These are two arrays spanning the same two hard drives. It appears that the second drive is no longer detected as part of the array.

My hardware is an Asus Crosshair VI Hero, which has been running fine in this configuration for over two years. I have not disconnected any of the hard drives since building it, and the last time I opened the case was over 6 months ago.

I have a dual-boot of Windows and Linux; the latter is Debian but using the AMD rcraid driver. I was running Linux when I first noticed the problem; I had booted it first thing in the morning and it was fine, then I suspended it when I went out. After I resumed, I realised that one of the RAID 0 partitions was giving an I/O error.

Is there any way to force RAIDXpert2 to reassign the hard drive to the RAID arrays or do I need to rebuild both of them?

2 physical drives, with both a RAID 0 and a RAID 1? And 2x OS's.

How is this actually split up, and what is on this?

I can't visualize any construct with those parts that is actually beneficial, and in fact not totally worthless.

The OSes are both stored on an NVME drive. I use the RAID 0 array for applications (mostly games) and the RAID 1 for data (so that I have redundancy).

So it would seem that one of the physical drives has failed?
Leading to loss of the RAID 0, and the degraded RAID 1.

That was my initial thought; however, the RAIDXpert2 UI detects the hard drive in the "Disk Devices" list but claims that it has been removed from both RAID arrays.

You've tried doing a full shutdown and letting it sit unpowered for a spell and then booting back up?

I've tried turning it off at the PSU for over 8 hours and the problem persists.
I've been looking at the log file and this is the current status:

I think the HD: 36864 is the key, but I'm not sure whether that's because it can't recognise the hard drive or because something's been corrupted elsewhere.

Do you not have images/backups of this setup to restore?
