Just to clarify in which order everything happened and why i want to be sure it’s correct before i format the drive.
1. disc 6 died a few days ago.
i wanted a bigger parity so followed this guide:
https://wiki.unraid.net/index.php/The_parity_swap_procedure
2. Bought a new 8tb drive and put that in.
3. After disabling disc 6, starting the array i proceeded to do the parity swap.
4. The old parity is kow disc 6, but first it gets copied to the new parity.
5. New parity copy complete. Data rebuild started i thiught, but maybe it was a parity check instead?
the old parity should have no filesystem, so that is correct, but i thought the process of rebuilding the array was complete.
