Thank you @itimpi! My understanding is getting better as I use, explore, read the docs and get answers to the questions. Thank you to everyone that replied on this thread, it immensely helped me to get a better understanding of the workings of Unraid. This builds my confidence and allows me to do operations on the array without worries.

Hi Squid, I have read through the Parity docs at https://wiki.unraid.net/index.php/Parity. Is there another section in the doc that gives a high level explanation of the implementation. It would satisfy my curiosity to know the implementation details of Parity process. Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you both @Squid! and @sota! To complete my understanding there is a process on the server that is monitoring all updates (writes and deletes in case of a move) and updating the parity disk(s)?

Hi! I used the unBALANCED plugin to move files of one the disks in the array and the process was interrupted in the middle. Lot of files were duplicated. I am removing these files manually from the command line. I am wondering if I move/update/delete files from the disks on the array from the command line (GUI, etc.) is that parity on the parity disk(s) maintained? Do I need to run a parity rebuild after I have moved/updated/deleted files within the array? The docs at https://wiki.unraid.net/Transferring_Files_Within_the_unRAID_Server do not mention any information on parity. I have also searched the forums and searched the internet and I was unable to locate information on parity updates. Can the docs also be updated so it is clear what happens when data is moved between disks in an array. Thanks!

Hi! I am running into the same issue. And I have created a DNS entry on my local network to resolve this. It has been over 24h and the old DNS entry still persists outside of my network. Can one of you please share the steps on how this was resolved? I would like to delete the manual DNS entry on my network as a workaround. Also this is a problem that if the IP changes and I do not have the capability to override the DNS entry then I loose access to the server via WebGUI. And I do not know how to disable TLS or the redirect from the IP to the domain which happens automatically to access the settings and disable TLS. This has made me wonder if I should permanently disable TLS. Thanks!
