I'm such an idiot, feel like i tried this at least a dozen times - i'm such an idiot - was selecting 'yes i want to do this' then clicking 'done' - didn't even register 'apply' - thanks for your help

also only a single parity

Hey Guys, I'm struggling with this same problem - Feel like i'm following all of @itimpi's instructions here (also found this method elsewhere) - but whenever i move the drive i want to relocate to another slot i get 'invalid expansion' 'You may not add new disk(s) and also remove existing disk(s).' - just trying to relocate a drive from disk 5 to disk 7 to match a physical move i had to make in my case. Any help greatly appreciated.

did this every actually work for these particular files?

yeah, many thanks - i get that its a probably the ocd in me - but would rather find a way to prevent them getting on the server in the first place.. if there is one?

Super late to the party on this one, brand new unraid user.. trying to learn - I've spent about a day on this already trawling to forums and youtube videos - and wrestling with different potential solutions... these mac 'double files'/forks are doing my head in and make everything on the server a mess - if only there was an easy switch to hide them all in the array i think i could live - although it still feels messy knowing that they are there (granted they take up minimal space) would rather not go down the path of routinely spinning up disks to delete later. I think i've now managed to get all the prevent new 'duplicate' ._filenames using the veto commands above - but i'm still getting constant .DS_Store files created when viewing from mac. I'm also reading the bug mentioned above has now been fixed? I'm also looking for a way to prevent these files ._filenames and .DS_Store files copying across when i plug in drives directly to the array as unassigned devices - I need to load something like 60TB from usb drives onto the new server.. so much faster if i can plug them in directly... i.e 'copy the whole drive please, but ignore any file or folder starting with a '.' '? any help 'dumbed down to newie level - greatly appreciated!
