Invalid Configuration

[footballmad]

Hello,

 

After updating to version 6.9.2 and rebooting, all disks were unassigned and a "Stale Configuration" message was displayed in the bottom left corner.

 

I haven't yet started the array.

What are the risks of assigning the disks back to how they were before (I have some old screenshots) but potentially assigning a previous disk to the wrong slot, i.e. Previously Disk 1 to Disk 2 ??

I'm 99% sure that the 2 parity disks are as they were before and have assigned these but have the warning, "All existing data on this device will be OVERWRITTEN when array is Started"

 

Any advice is very welcome and any ideas as to why this happened also welcome.

 

EDIT: Changed "invalid" to "Stale"

The 5 five disks on my system are encrypted, if I don't put the disks in their previous configuration, is there any risk to data?

The only risk is if you assign a data disk to a parity slot, and if you were using single parity it will still remain valid even if the data disks are in different slots.

So no risk for the encrypted disks in s potentially wrong slot?
