Hi.
I previously had 4x20TB HDDs in the array. Two of them were for parity. Now, according to the documentation, I've added two more 20TB HDDs to the array. Everything went smoothly and without any problems.
When the two new HDDs were added, the old four HDDs were sleeping according to the display in the GUI and the power consumption also confirmed this.
First, UNRAID cleared the two new HDDs (about 24 hours), and then I formatted the new ones, which took another ~two hours. Afterward, the new total capacity of the array was visible.
What surprises me now is that the history of the "Array Parity Check" now shows that the last successful parity check was completed exactly at the time when the new 2 disks were finally added to the array. Old status for this was over 130 days old.
How can it display this when the old HDDs, including the 2 parity HDDs, were asleep the whole time the array was being expanded?
To do this, UNRAID would have had to check the entire HDD array, now with 2+4x20TB, again after clearing and formatting the new two HDDs.
In my opinion, this is a bug that creates a false sense of security if this is displayed incorrectly.
Thank you and best regards
