I have two unraid servers, and have decided that if a drive fails on my "production" server, I am going to pull from my backup and shrink that array (I really don't need everything backed up anyway). The problem is if a drive fails on my backup.. I don't want to replace anything given the prices these days. Is it even possible to rebuild from parity without a replacement disk? Only other option I can think of is to buy a new disk, use it to rebuild, shrink the array, and then return it within the 30-day window.

I just want to say thank you for all the work you have done on this. I just swapped motherboards because my gigabyte was defective and throwing memory errors. The new one's (Asrock TRX40 Creator) sensors weren't supported by hwmon, so I bought a Corsair iCue Commander Core XT, which liquidctl recognized immediately through CoolerControl, and set up the drive temps in hwmon. Last step is to allocate the correct mounts so that I don't have to run the container in privileged mode. All this to say I won't need to worry about my expensive drives cooking themselves to death, OR need a jet engine running in my office anymore.
