niemandr Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hi all, as the title states I recently did a LOT of changes to my Unraid server, namely: Added a new 6TB "Parity 2" disk to my array Upgraded my main "Parity" drive from 4TB -> 6TB (to match) Replaced a suspect 4TB WD disk with my old "Parity" drive My current configuration looks like this: For the life of me I am unable to figure out the "magic sauce" needed to get everything back to happy here - the issue only started once I placed the old Parity disk back into the array to replace the WD drive - maybe there is something there that Unraid is unhappy with. I stumbled upon this post "https://forums.unraid.net/topic/44410-solved-parity-device-is-disabled/" which had something similar and am preemptively uploading some additional information exported for the NAS. Hopefully I have missed something simple, or it is as simple as Unraid not being happy that the old parity drive has been inserted back into the NAS... I am in no rush right now as I have about 6 hours for the RAID to rebuild before I am comfortable messing about with things: Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks in advance newnas-diagnostics-20220210-0742.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Once the rebuild is done re-enable parity, if it fails to sync post new diags before rebooting. Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the quick response, and will do. I gathered I would need to wait for the rebuild first Quote Link to comment
