Confirmed. Parity sync/rebuild completed successfully this morning without any errors.

It looks like either the safe mode or the repeat of the "New Config" did the trick. It is no longer hanging and I can pause and cancel the rebuild progress. I'm not sure if I'll be able to prove which one it was. I'll update the thread once the rebuild is complete.

Hey thanks for the super quick reply. I left it going for about 45 minutes after freezing up all three times. I decided to repeat the "New Config" process and then put the system in safe mode and try again. I'm right in the middle of it now and I've already surpassed my previous best (I'm at 1.3%!). I'll come back later with an update either way.

Hi, I am trying to remove two old 2TB drives and replace with new 8TB drives. Here's the rundown of what happened when I tried to do this. I just executed a "new config" by going to Tools->New. This completed without issue. After removing the two drives from their assignments (both drives were empty, so my array shrunk by two drives), I attempted to do a parity sync. The sync hangs at different values. 0.6%, 1.0%, 1.2%. I can't "pause" or "cancel" the parity sync. It just does nothing. I can't reboot the server or shutdown the server. Even from an SSH login using Putty. All Dockers, Plugins, and VMs are still usable, although I tried stopping them all just in case (made no difference). I can't access the shares from my Windows VM. I'm by no means proficient in Linux, but I've managed to make my Unraid server run for quite a few years without any big issues. This one has me stumped. Was I not supposed to remove two drives at once? I was under the impression this was fine, but maybe I misunderstood. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated. tower-diagnostics-20220106-1527.zip
