I see a message that my node is disqualified, it’s legit as I was having issues with the server and didn’t realize it was even down. Will this auto fix itself as long as it’s online stable? Or do I need to do something so it’s re-assessed?
A disqualified node is dead. Start a new one with new identity.

Oh shoot. Not what I wanted to hear at all. If I’m starting over can I wipe the drives fully too and start truly fresh? I’d like to switch from Windows to a Linux container and while I can easily pass these existing drives into the new host formatting and starting 100% fresh does have an appeal.
Basically you have to start fresh. However disqualification is on a per satellite basis. It could be that your node is disqualified on some satellite and still good on others. In that case keeping the good parts running and do a graceful exit might be an option.
But what has been disqualified is gone and you can wipe it completeley off the disk. In fact this is something you have to do as as far as I know there is at least no inintial deletion routine on a fresh node that wipes old data. It could be that over time old existing data gets deleted as with piecestore but I am not sure if hashstore does this as well.

Nothing changed, both piecestore and hashstore are using bloom filters to delete old data.
However, only a 100% fresh installation makes sense to me.
