Hoping this is in the correct place. I am having a parity swap issue. I have had a data disk failure, however the spare drive I had as backup Is bigger than my parity drive (ordered by mistake!) I have a dual parity setup, not sure if that makes any difference in this situation. So I found a guide that said select the new drive in the parity slot that you would be replacing (so I just picked the oldest of the two parity drives) I then put the old parity drive in the failed data drive slot. Unraid then gave me the option to do the Parity swap and copy the data over. It all started well, I had read/write speeds of 220 on both drives, so I left them to it. I checked back half an hour later and 0 read/write speeds on both drives, but an average of 35% cpu usage, so it looked like something was going on. The progress % was at 2%. I decided to just leave it and check again this morning. Much to my frustration still at 2%, same cpu usage, same 0 read/write speeds.
I have attached my diagnostic file from when I first noticed the 0 read/writes. I should also note that I have already tried things like changing Sata cables, I made sure that these two particular drives are connected directly to the MB rather than an expansion card. I have however ordered a new expansion card which has arrived this morning, so I can connect that up and try a new connection route hardware wise. I have also ordered an additional 8TB drive to match the other new drive so that the Parity can be scaled up once the swap and data rebuild is complete.
