Failure to expand array (Slots)

[cKone]

Hello everyone, 

first time poster here - please be gentle   I purchased an unraid Plus license and built my first machine. I made an array with shares, which I populated with data from my 8 TB drive. So far everything works. I precleared said drive after I emptied it and now I want to add it to the array.

However, once I change the "Slots" dropdown from 5 to 6 (or any other number), the start array button gets grayed out. (see screenshots). Rebooting didn't change anything. Can someone enlighten me as to how this "Slosts" thing works and how I can remedy my problem? 

Thanks in advance, 

Colin

You are likely to get better informed feedback if you post your systems diagnostics zip file

Im still at a complete loss. How does Unraid behave in Your systems when you change the "Slots" amount? Are You able to start the array?

Those screenshot don't show the START button "grayed out"

I guess it seems that way because of how the pictures are displayed in this forum. If you click on the picture it gets displayed as a whole.

I can assure you, that I become instantly unable to start up my array, once I change the Slots-number. This happens independent of whether I try to add another drive or leave the new slots unassigned.

This is what it looks like with any slots-value other than 5:

That look like a bug, since you're not using encryption set default filesystem to xfs (Settings -> Disk Settings)

That did the trick. Thank you very much indeed JorgeB
