• Incorrect error when adding parity and new disk at the same time

    Start with a single parity valid array, add parity2 and a new disk at the same time and you get:

     

    Invalid expansion.  - You may not add new disk(s) and also remove existing disk(s).

     

    I know this isn't possible, but the error is wrong, I'm not removing any disks.

    Bumping this because it keeps popping up on the forum from time to time, note that it also happens with single parity, if the user tries to add a new disk at the same time as parity or before parity finishes syncing, and while it's just an annoyance it shouldn't be a complicated fix, if parity isn't valid and a new data disk is added give an error that actually gives a clue to the user what the problem is.
