HDT Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) I'm using UNRAID for the first time and built my first array. I have 5 x 14 TB drives but had existing data on one of the drives. So first, I built an array of 4 x 14 TB disks. Then, I copied the data over to the array. Then, I added the 14 TB drive to the array as a parity drive. Then, UNRAID started doing the parity thing. This morning I got this message: Unraid Status: 03-06-2022 00:20 Notice [MEDIA-UNRAID] - array health report [FAIL] Array has 8 disks (including parity & cache) Is it normal to see a red [FAIL] notification when you're building parity for the first time on a new array? Also, does UNRAID automatically format the drive with the proper file system and stuff before it does parity? Edited June 3, 2022 by HDT Quote Link to comment
