Unraid not showing disk statistics for new parity drives

[Oliver Martin]

Upgrading my array to 8tb drives, so replaced both my parity drives but the new drives don't show any activity on them despite that the rebuild is in progress.

I believe this happened before, toggle to speed instead, that should still show and it's much more useful.

Yep that seems to be showing some info at least now, be interested to know why it isn't recording operations? Also what about errors will they still display?

They should.

I just tried to use these drives as parity whilst doing a data-rebuild and it failed to read the parity back most likely due to that protection was enabled at a guess. For anyone seeing this in the future and who has the same drives and issues follow the steps here BEFORE you start using the drives whether for data or parity. And since removing the protection i can now see the operations on the drive

Diags only show the beginning of the parity sync but strange that it would finish without errors in this case, did they turn green in the end?

[Oliver Martin]

Yes they turned green in the end and it said the parity was valid.

 

Another interesting thing to note was I formatted the drives with unassigned devices plugin and that didn't give off an error even though in hindsight it was never able to due to the protection being enabled.

Weird, sync should never finish successfully, but it should be a corner case.
