SmokeyColes Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) Hello I'm just looking for advice how to reassign disk numbers (as safe as possible) without moving files? They do have data and shares. Is there an easy way to make: Disk 1 to become Disk 5. Disk 2 to remain as Disk 2. Disk 3 to become Disk 8. Disk 4 to become Disk 13. Disk 5 to become Disk 11.

Squid Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 You have to do a Tools - New Config, and reassign the drives. Note that parity will not be valid after this (specifically, Parity 2) so you must rebuild the parity information. 1 Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Stop the array, unassign parity2, as it's not valid after moving slot assignments. Start the array without parity2 to commit the change. Stop the array, set a new config, keep all. Go to the main page, do all your rearranging, keep parity 2 unassigned for now. Mark parity as valid. Start the array, let the parity check complete, it should show zero errors. Stop the array, assign parity 2, start and let it build. 1 Quote Link to comment
SmokeyColes Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Hi Guys Firstly forgive me, my heart is thumping a tad more than normal. I went to New Config, All. I pressed Yes I want to do this, Apply and Done. At least I'm certain I did. This is what I see: Have I done something wrong..? Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 @JorgeB? That's the message I would expect if the new config hadn't been applied successfully. Quote Link to comment
SmokeyColes Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Yes I clearly didn't do it; isn't it funny how nerves can throw you so much! I am resyncing now, and will look at fixing my shares "Included disks" - also now have a pro licence and the next big one will be the real migration to the new motherboard and case Thank you for your help Edited May 15, 2021 by SmokeyColes 1 Quote Link to comment
SmokeyColes Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 Hard drives changed, no data loss and parity 2 rebuilt Topic marked as solved. Quote Link to comment
SmokeyColes Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 Hi terribly sorry to bother but I did an additional full parity check and got the followings errors - is this something I should be concerned about? I don't really know what this means?

Squid Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Returned to normal is because you did a new config The read errors however are most likely because of poor cabling etc, but only diagnostics (before a reboot) would tell the story 1 Quote Link to comment
