After a sudden power failure mirroired disks on my Windows 10 machine always enter "Resynching" state. While the disks are resynching, the right-click menu for such disks will include a "Reactivate Disk" command. What is the purpose of that command? What does it do? What exactly does it "Reactivate" and when would I need it?

    Hi AndreyT_04,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    If a disk is showing as offline, the 'Reactivate Disk' option will attempt to bring it back online.
