I didn't tell unraid to do that. I added a 4th NIC, same thing happened. How to stop it?

Was able to reset password. Thank you. Here is my diagnostic file. diskstation-diagnostics-20231106-2226.zip

Same problem after update to 6.12.4. LAN card not blinking, can't find server, no GUI. And I have a 128 character password, that I have to type blind on a non-English keyboard. Did this to reset password : "Bing up an editor (such as Notepad++) on the following file: /boot/config/shadow On the first line, you should see something such as: root:\$&\$&%\*1112233484847648DHD\$%.:15477:0:99999:7::: Change that line to the following (essentially delete the content between the first and second colons): root::15477:0:99999:7:::" I type root and I leave password empty, it says wrong password. Can't get new diagnostics file. I only have an old diagnostics file from 6 months ago. What to do? diskstation-diagnostics-20230619-1717.zip

It isn't in the array, it is in unassigned devices (previous disk 2). It is Dev 1, and Dev 2 is faulty disk that would not rebuild parity. Both out of the array.

Actually three disks, then two. First run to see shares without parity. All There. Then with parity disk in slot parity 1, not 2 . Disk 2 was empty, so now it will be backup. I will run preclear on it later, not to bottleneck rebuild. Thank you again.

Thank you, we solved it. I check marked "Preserve current assignments: Pool slots." I mixed what it means pool slots with array slots. I thought it would preserve only cache pools.

Ok I see you need more context. I want to shrink array because i now have four WD6TB disks fail after 2 years. I have old green wd disks no problems. But new purple and reds are a disaster. I RMA disks back and fourth few times, and I get stuck with them not working. Last time was like this: I go new config but it says "Too many wrong and/or missing disks!" diskstation-diagnostics-20220504-1542.zip

Disk 1 has failed, and with unBalance I have transfered all the data off the emulated disk. Now I don't want to rebuild parity. How do i do that?
