GottaGame9000 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I got some advice to preform the parity swap procedure in order to upgrade my parity drive and use the old parity for a data-rebuild of a failed drive. I think I started the procedure on 12/20 and it completed 12/21, but when I looked at my Main Array page the Start array button wasn't enabled, but instead looked like it was asking if I wanted to preform a copy operation again...any advice? https://wiki.unraid.net/The_parity_swap_procedure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMlR0TMeKsI syslog.txt Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted December 22, 2021 Solution Share Posted December 22, 2021 Dec 21 17:59:39 UNAS emhttpd: copy: disk3 to disk0 completed Parity copy completed successfully, and after that's done you can only click on start array to begin the rebuild or it will reset the procedure, did you do anything else?

I didn't do anything else. I was out at the movies watching the new SpiderMan during the time the parity should've finished and I come home and crashed afterwards. Didn't even touch the server.

JorgeB Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Maybe having the preclear plugin running interfered with it, not sure, never tried it. Quote Link to comment

Could be a possibility...say I wait for the PreClear on the other drive finish. If I kick off the parity swap procedure again I sohuldn't lose any data right? Any risk of data loss if I restarted the server? Quote Link to comment

No, it will just start over. 4 minutes ago, GottaGame9000 said: Any risk of data loss if I restarted the server? No, again you'd need to restart the procedure. Quote Link to comment
GottaGame9000 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Thanks for the info. Shame we still don't know why the swap failed when the log said it completed. At this point the main suspect is having another drive getting precleared at the same time might've caused intereferance...Best of luck to anyone else. I'll redo the parity swap after the other drive is done with its preclear and hope that resolves the issue... Quote Link to comment
