OK i've got the array back up and I'm copying stuff off emulated disk1. So i cant use the new 6TB for disk1 because its bigger, and i'd rather spend money on a 6TB replacement for disk1 instead of a new, smaller drive. So once everything is backed up off disk1, I can remove it from the array somehow, then replace the old parity with the new 6TB, rebuild parity, then put a new 6TB in for disk1? Or is there a better route to go?

ah ok. that disk isn't installed anymore. is the system safe to shutdown to plug it in, or is there someway to get a historical report? it was up to 2080 reallocated sectors in less than 2 days, from no warnings at all on it. "NAS2: Warning [NAS2] - current pending sector is 2080 TOSHIBA_DT01ACA200_13R0REZVS (dev1)"

I had a drive start throw a ton of errors, but I had a (larger) new drive ready to go, so i started the parity swap following the instructions in unraid's docs. I currently at the copy procedure. I started it just over 24 hours ago. At first it showed the percentage completed. But when i woke up this morning it doesn't, it just says "Stopped. Upgrading disk/swapping parity." and has a greyed out Copy button and the checkbox for "yes i want to do this". I'm still on 6.11.5. Is there any way to tell if its running, or should I just wait for the array start button to appear? I don't mind waiting, I just don't want to wait forever if its not running. nas2-diagnostics-20231222-1659.zip

ok, I've run it nas2-diagnostics-20230719-2055.zip

ok, I've finally been able to capture a diagnostics while its showing errors. its intermittent, and power outages from storms keep resetting them. nas2-diagnostics-20230719-0312.zip

So one of my 3TB data drives has had some bad sectors for a while now, and I have a new 6TB drive. I was planning on doing a parity swap. but before I got around to it, the parity is now also showing bad sectors. Both are growing, but slowly. What should I do now? nas2-diagnostics-20230616-1527.zip

I've got a 3TB data drive thats slowly getting pending sectors. My setup is 1 parity and 5 data disks. All are 3TB except 1 data which is 2TB. If I buy a 6TB drive can I swap it to the parity drive and use the existing parity disk to replace the failing one, without causing undo hardship on the failing drive and making it die? Or should I do the data drive first before doing anything else? Unraid 6.11.5
