October 19, 20223 yr I had setup my new dedicated (hetzner) machine to use 2 parity disks. Is it possible to go back to 1 parity disk? Or will that break my system
October 19, 20223 yr You can always remove (or add) parity disks at any point. stop array unassign unwanted parity disk start array to commit change
October 19, 20223 yr If you plan to use the old parity drive as a data drive, I strongly suggest to make a new flash backup once it is done.

If you use an old backup with a data disk as a parity drive, Unraid might accept that as valid (technically it would be), assign the data drive as parity and start the Array. Then, the data on that drive will be at risk.
