Hi,
I just recently started the setup of my home server with unraid and I'm very new to all of this, coming from Synology.
When I first set up my unraid instance, I used 4x brand new 2TB drives (1 parity and 3 usable drives), once the migration done from my old Synology, I then moved 2 of my already used 3TB drives into my unraid machine.
My goal is to use the 2 old 3TB drives as parity drives and 4 new 2TB drives as usable space, so to do that here is what I did:
I connected the 2 old 3TB drives
Assigned 1 of these to the parity (so I have the 2TB parity in place + one of the 3TB)
Started the array to perform a parity-sync
Stopped the array
Unassigned the 2TB parity drive
Assigned the 2TB parity drive to a normal array drive I can use
Start the array to clear the 2TB drive and add it to the usable space
Stopped the array
Assigned the 2nd 3TB drive to the parity
Started the array to perform a parity-sync
This last step never succeeded, I did it 3 times and I get the same error all the time where it says "Parity disk in error state (disk dsbl)" and shows 1024 errors.
Am I doing that wrong or is my disk faulty?

Thank you very much in advance for helping me!
