January 27, 20233 yr Tower - Sunday.docxTower - Sunday.docx Need some advice. This morning i physically removed an old (small 1.5TB) drive (disk2). I have already got a copy of its contents (on new disk10), so i'm happy to pull it out. I replaced the old disk2 with a brand new (6TB) drive. UnRaid prompted me to format it, so i did. Then i clicked on 'mount'. That seemed ok. I then allocated my new disk to the old slot (Disk 2) I then clicked 'Start' to bring the array online. The 'mount disks' process started. Now i appear to be 4% through a parity sync/data rebuild. To be honest, i dont need a data rebuild. All i wanted to end up with was a formatted & available 6TB disk. Can i just cancel the parity sync/data rebuild ???? If yes, do i need to undertake other steps ?? Diagnostics & screenshots attached. Richard tower-diagnostics-20230127-1651.zip
