Unraid recently reported my disk 6, of a 7 disk array, was failing, so I followed Space invaders' very helpful video and copied off the data using Unbalance and then used the script to write zeros on the drive to preserve parity.  then powered down and removed the failing drive, which was by then listed as Unassigned.

 

My question is - is it OK to have disk numbering go from Drive 5 to Drive 7, or should I move drive 7 up into the drive 6 location?

 

Thanks

Gaps are fine and don't affect anything at all

Thanks, Squid. I thought as much,  but just wanted to check. 

By the way, what an amazing support network - it took all of 1 minute to answer the question!  Superb service, and an amazing programme!
