[Failed Parity drive showing as missing]

I appreciate the assistance, but I needed to get things going again so attached a 8TB 3.5" eSATA drive.   

[Failed Parity drive showing as missing]

No, all are 2.5" internal SATA drives.  I just did a drive listing (dmesg | grep blocks) and all are reporting the same size (4.00 TB/3.64 TiB).

I have reset the configuration and am still unable to assign any new 4TB drive I have (6 others all same MFG and type as array) as a new parity drive, Unraid still reports them all as 'Parity slot not biggest'. I've attached each drive to a different computer and deleted the 1 partition they each had and I'm still getting the same message.  Is there a way to find out why?

 

Thanks for all your assistance.

Guess I didn't retain the important part, I appreciate you pointing that section out.  I'll have a go at it and let you know.

 

Thanks again.

That looks a little scary - like it'll remove all the existing data is what it sounds like, especially the 'you have been warned' part.  Seriously though, the only way to tell the system to remove a bad/missing drive is to start a new config?  Like most, I have a TON of data I don't want to loose, granted the VERY important stuff is backed up but the other TBs of data is still important.

UNRAID masterminds....

 

So I had my single 8TB parity drive fail and all I had to replace it quickly is a 4TB drive.  No problem I thought since all the data drives are 4TB - oh, but wait, UNRAID won't let me because it says the 8TB drive is missing and the 4TB drive is not the largest in the system because of it.

 

How do I go about telling UNRAID to forget about the 8TB drive so I can get the 4TB as the parity drive?

 

Thanks

 

[(SOLVED) Drive not adding to array]

Thanks all.  I decided to just let the check run.  Don't like using up SSD cycles on a clear, but until UnRAID has a better way to handle all SSD arrays, guess we're stuck.

 

[(SOLVED) Drive not adding to array]

If at all possible, I'd rather not 'clear' an SSD. Is there any way around that?

 

[(SOLVED) Drive not adding to array]

Hi all,

 

I moved all my drives over to SSD a while back and recently replaced an SSD partiy drive with a much larger HD.  I've tried adding the SSD to the array in an open spot (1) left over from the original move to SSDs.  I used the 'Unassigned Devices' to remove the old parity partition off the drive, now the drive shows as new (blue square) only.  Not sure why it's not the green circle.

 

Thanks for any assistance.
