T800 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I've just precleared my drives 3 times and started the array without formatting them. It's currently doing a parity sync. Does it matter that drives haven't been formatted first? Or will I have to sync again? If so should I stop the sync, format and start sync again. Link to comment
Rajahal Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Nope, doesn't matter. You can even format the drives while parity is syncing. Do not format more than two drives at once, since on some systems this will cause the server to crash. Just format them two at a time until you get to all of them. Link to comment
