July 4, 20215 yr I know this has probably been asked before, but I couldnt find a suitable answer. This is how my disks look currently and its killing my OCD as the disk sizes arent grouped together. I would like to group all the 12tb drives together as disks 5 - 8 Is the fix as simple as stopping the array and re-assigning the disks, or is this totally not the way to do it, is there even a way to do it? These disks are not empty so I dont want to reformat and lose the data, so need to avoid that scenario.
July 4, 20215 yr If you rearrange drives, parity2 is no longer valid and must be rebuilt. Parity1 is still valid, but it takes some maneuvering to keep from having to rebuild it. Tools, new config will allow you to rearrange things, as long as you don't accidentally assign a data drive to a parity slot no data will be lost, and both parity drives will be rebuilt.
July 4, 20215 yr Author Although a pain and a long process, I can live with parity being rebuilt, at least I know now how to do it, (Tools > New Config) and my OCD can rest easy.
