Data Drive Replacement with XFS encrypted array - Asking for new encryption key

[GreyFoxLeFourbe]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to execute the procedure described in the wiki under "Replacing a Data Drive"

https://wiki.unraid.net/Replacing_a_Data_Drive

 

I have an array of 7 drives + 1 parity drive. Disks are XFS encrypted. Unraid 6.9.2

I'm trying to replace a 2TB disk in the array for a 14TB disk.

 

When I reboot the array after stopping the array, unassigning the old drive in the array and swapping to the new drive, the Unraid UI shows all disks as ready to be encrypted and requests entering a new encryption key + a confirmation. Multiple reboots don't change this.

If I put the previous drive again in the array, I'm able to start the array as usual by providing my XFS encryption key.

 

Any idea of why these disks are showing as "ready to be encrypted"? What am I missing?

I have not tried to enter my current encryption key in the UI.

 

Thank you

Happy to take another diagnostics with the new drive in place again, if you need it? 

Thanks

Input the existing key.

Hey JorgeB,

 

Thanks for the answer. Do you know if this is an officially documented issue by LimeTech?

This sounds to me as quite a misleading user interface experience - that honestly should be fixed.

 

I'll get that running tonight. Thanks

Encryption with Unraid still has some quirks, I don't personally use it but remember seeing other users with similar issues before, feel free to create a bug report.
