    TLDR: After running a trust on the parity drive which was disabled, I now have an additional drive which I don't own, and couldn't physically be in the server as there are no more slots.

    Hello,

     

    I've had a quick search through the forum but I suspect I'm not using the right terminology.

     

    I'm very new to unRAID, literally only installed it yesterday (twice, now I understand it a bit more).

     

    I have an old HP MicroServer N36L running a pretty old AMD CPU. I was going through an upgrade process of replacing my existing install of CentOS with three 1TB HDDs and the install on 1SSD and I thought I'd try out UnRAID as I'd heard lots of good things about it.

     

    I was going to go with CentOS but after finding that 1 of the 3TB HDD's was faulty, I decided to try UnRAID as I am mixing disks a little.

     

    The server has 4 non-hot swap bays, but the drives do slide in and out like a faux hot-swap setup.

     

    I setup UnRAID and found one of the drives was dodgy, so started again. Then, I must have done something daft as the parity drive stayed disabled, possibly I stopped some process when it was first building. I've ran checks etc and not found any issues, and went though the process documented here to trust the parity drive. That worked, and the parity drive is now online.

     

    The weird thing is, not for the first time (I'm sure I saw this yesterday too), some random drive has appeared as unassigned, that I don't own (I don't have any 4TB drives). I saw this first yesterday when I was trying to reassign a drive for parity and noticed it in the drop down list. I thought it was the array though appearing as a real drive, so didn't look into it further.

     

    Today though, I had a look and found it's listed as a Seagate drive with a serial number. Not sure if this is in the config from initial setup and is somehow stuck in my UnRAID? This is why I've raised it as a bug, wonder if it's one of the devs drives maybe?

    Edit: I just noticed it's listed as a 2.5" drive too. All the drives in this server are 3.5"

    This should be in the general support forum, but that's just an external USB drive:
