nanohits Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Hello, Starting first time and added an array disk and it recognizes it as a Seagate tried and shows assigned. However the start button is greyed out and says offline in green. The file system is set to xfs and is not encrypted. Any ideas on why it says offline? Quote Link to comment

Solution JorgeB Posted September 29, 2022 Solution Share Posted September 29, 2022 You cannot start the array with only parity assigned, if you are going to use a single device for now assign it as disk1. Quote Link to comment
nanohits Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share Posted September 29, 2022 Thanks so much, Start button now appears, so later when I add more hard disks, I can parity them right? for now I can start experimenting with just disk1 then,. Cheers Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Correct, you can add parity and/or more data disks at any time. Quote Link to comment

kizer Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Just keep in mind each time you add a disk it has to re-built parity for the entire array. Which is completely normal. Quote Link to comment

Which is completely normal. Not sure what you mean by this? If you add a disk to a parity protected array (that is not already pre-cleared) then Unraid will Clear it by writing zeroes to every sector specifically so that parity is not affected.

nanohits Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share Posted September 29, 2022 One more question. So at a later stage can I stick the Flash drive in another computer and as long as the drives are parity etc on the network, will this be ok or it has to be on the same computer that Unraid is run on?

Kilrah Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Everything has to be on the computer it's being run from. Quote Link to comment
