I am just getting started with unRAID. I have always used Windows Home Server and luckily got away without any failed drives on it. (knock...knock)
My issue is this. I setup a machine with 2 drives and 1 parity to test. I put data on and made sure that some was on both the data drives. I then let the parity drive do its thing. When trying to duplicate a drive failure by unplugging one of the drives and then put in a new one realized all the drives that I had to put in were bigger than the parity drive. So I then proceeded to get the array working back like normal and then upgrade the parity drive in the same way. The issue is when I plugged in the new larger drive where the old parity drive was and then changed it from no device to the long drive name, it paused for a second and then went back to no device and there was no other drive option. I tried rebooting and everything and it would never come back, so then I plug the old parity drive back in and then it would see it and would rebuild the parity.
Am I doing something wrong?
I can try it again and pull a syslog but it was adding things so fast I couldnt see any errors.
Thanks for any help.
