thank you for the repply , I did the new config and right now the 8tb is parity and I have disk 1 8tb and disk 2 is the original 6tb data disk . its parity syncing right now . those that mean that one parity drive can repair any of the 2 disk if hardware disk failure ? can i put the extra 6tb drive has data now ? or parity will only work on 2 drives ? , sorry asking all the question I can tower-diagnostics-20230118-2134.zip

Hi all , i'm having a little issue and cant find my problem and hope somebody can help me. I was using unraid on 2 X 6tb wd red , parity and disk. The disk got full and with boxing day specials a bought 2 X 8tb wd reds pro and i'm having a problem with the 'raid' system in unraid . I'm getting ( disk in parity slot is not bigest) , i tried to add one of the 8tb in the parity and wait for it to be active and gives me the same error at the second I try to add the 8tb drive in the disk 2 . I read that it can be something like HPA but it doent look like I'm having that issue : /dev/sda: SG_IO: bad/missing sense data, sb[]: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 max sectors = 0/1, HPA is enabled /dev/sdb: max sectors = 15628053168/15628053168, HPA is disabled /dev/sdc: max sectors = 15628053168/15628053168, HPA is disabled /dev/sdd: max sectors = 11721045168/11721045168, HPA is disabled /dev/sde: max sectors = 11721045168/11721045168, HPA is disabled /dev/sdf: max sectors = 488397168/488397168, HPA is disabled can somebody tell me what i'm doing wrong ? preferably I would prefer to have 2 disk available and whatever disk needed for parity and rebuilding if one drive fails . thank you for your help Ric
