cant swap my parity disk

[JorgeB]

Likely the new parity had an existing partition starting on sector 2048, default is 64, but Unraid will accept and use 2048 if it exists, if that was the problem, and the fdisk output would confirm, you just needed to delete the partition first.

yep, the parity check completed without issue. I think I can safely close the thread. sorry to bother everyone with this odd issue.
for reference though I was able to get the fdisk output for the new parity disk/the SSD with the weird default formatting
I dont know how helpful it is since I can't get unraid to mount the old parity drive anymore and I dont have the fdisk from before I just straight up copied all of the data from the old to the new, but here it is reguardless

Parity drives have no filesystem to mount. Maybe you mean something else.
