    You can use either without a new config, after starting the array without it, and can also have only parity2. Thanks for testing it and confirming that we can also use only the parity2 drive.

    Actually, one more question as this is equally as important. Say I run out of space on my array, can I "demote" the second parity and add it as an additional data drive? Would the entire parity calculation have to be redone or can I simply format the drive and add it. I can then proceed to purchase a new parity drive in the meantime. This way, I can always add my 4TB (2nd parity) back to the array.

    Thanks for the awesome response. I haven't considered those options and it certainly makes my point a bit moot. Thanks again!

    Hi all, I'm on 6.2.0-rc2 and wondering if anyone knows this. Will the second parity be able to be on-the-fly used as a replacement for failed data disk? So the question may have to go further, once you set up a second parity, will removing this require a complete parity sync once more? Otherwise, in theory, simply removing the second parity and installing as a replacement should work. Thanks,
