Tuumke Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 You can always remove (or add) parity disks at any point. stop array unassign unwanted parity disk start array to commit change Quote Link to comment
ChatNoir Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment

It is recommended to make a backup after every significant change but in that case it is even more important. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment
