November 20, 20214 yr Currently have 8 disk in my NAS, 1 parity and 7 in the data array and of course few cache drives. I would like to 1. shrink my array (remove a 5TB) and 2. use the empty spot to add a second 8TB to my existing 8TB parity drive (basically 2 parity drive setup) I see there is a good procedure for shrinking the array and I was wondering if I can combine with adding the second parity drive into that procedure. Any ideas, anyone done it before? I am thinking at step 7 just assign the new 8TB as secondary parity drive into the slot of the 5TB that I just removed from the array? Would that work? https://wiki.unraid.net/Shrink_array Edited January 4, 20224 yr by johnwhicker
