johmei Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I don't know what happened (I only know it was related to plugging in my old bad drives to try and pre-clear/test them again just out of curiosity) but unraid decided that my first parity disk was bad or something 🙄 (it's brand new and went through no less than 1 full preclear) so I learned a lesson there. But I started the array in maintenance mode and hit sync with the intention of it helping to shave some time off, without realizing I actually needed to access some data before the 17 hours that I'd have to wait without mounting the array.  Is there a safe way to not have to start the parity sync over and still mount the array? Or will I have to start over? And if I do, how do I do that safely? I assume I would simply cancel the parity-sync, and then start the array only not in maintenance mode this time?  Thanks so much!

johmei Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 Thanks very much for confirming this! While I hope there won't be a next time any time soon, I won't do maintenance mode if I have to again just in case I need access to my files! Quote Link to comment
