Posted April 17, 20214 yr Hi Fellow UnRaiders... I recently added a new 12 TB drive for a partity drive. That was compelted no issues. The old disk I was using as parity I want to add back in as a data drive. So I stopped array and added it. I wanted to make sure it is formatted as "XFS" but did not get that option - I see the drive clearing as it should. When it is done will it be set as XFS? Right now the FS says "AUTO". Thanks!

Thanks! if you had clicked on the drive before starting the array to add the drive you would have had the option to explicitly set the format you want.
