  1. Well, I did add a second parity drive, but this wasn't the first time I added a new parity.  When I added the 2tb, it stayed in the parity 2 slot.  So when I added the 4tb I have now, it became Parity 1.  My plan changed a few times based on the drives I had available to me.  I bought more which is why I added the 4tb. 

     

    My goal is to have 1 parity with the 4TB.  Re-assign the 2TB Parity drive to a disk drive.  Remove the remaining 1TB disk drives, replace them with a 4TB and 2TB.

     

    Here is a screenshot:

  2. When I unassign the 2TB parity, unraid gives me a warning that the disk will be disabled.  This won't cause any issues when I go to add it as a data disk?  I'm still new to unraid so I wasn't sure if I could then add it as data disk after it has been disabled.  

     

    Right now I don't have plans to have 2 parity drives.  Eventually I might go that route but storage size is more important to me at this point.  

  3. I recently added a second parity drive 4tb in size.  I was going to use the 4tb I added as well as the first parity drive I already had installed which is 2tb.  At first I did not realize that I would only be able to add disk drives up to 2tb in size, since that is my smallest parity drive.  I have another drive larger than 2tb that I would like to add to my array.  What is the best way to re-assign the 2tb drive and add it as a disk drive?  I recently found this article:  http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Shrink_array   Should I follow: The "Clear Drive Then Remove Drive" Method?  Please point me in the right direction, I appreciate the help.  Thank you.
