Uh oh...my parity disk has 992 errors on it! Looks like it's giving up the ghost.
As far as replacing it goes, this is what I found.
Is it really as simple as array offline, old disk out, new disk in, array online? That's what it seems to say even though it's not quite the procedure I'm looking for.
Is there better info somewhere?
Also...I know the parity disk dying right now isn't really that big of a deal as long as an error doesn't occur on another disk (or more?). What happens if another drive DOES die before I can get the parity disk replaced? Is ALL data gone or just the corrupt data on that disk?
Info:
unRAID version - 6.8.3
Array details - Six 8TB drives, five data, one parity, 40TB total, 36.8TB used. (Yes, I'm a data hoarder...)
Other disks - 1TB SATAIII cache disk, 2 other random SATAIII disks that aren't a part of the array.
Hardware - Running on an HP Proliant server with 2 Xeons, 64GB RAM, etc. Its old. Need to upgrade. 🤣
Thanks!
