March 21, 20233 yr I just started up my first unraid server. Got the OS installed and all the drives showed up. I assigned all the drives (6 disks and 1 parity). Now i just waited 24 hours for the thing to run, and as soon as its done, its says all the drives are basically completely full. What is happening?

March 21, 20233 yr Community Expert Parity check doesn't write to disks, I see you've started a new array but the disks were already formatted xfs, where do these disks come from?
March 21, 20233 yr Author They were second hand drives from a friend. He was using them in a NAS but I am unsure if it was unraid or not.
March 21, 20233 yr Community Expert Solution Just format the disks, parity will remain valid, stop array, change fs to a different one for all disks, start array, format, stop array, change back to xfs, start array, format again.
March 21, 20233 yr Author That’s about what I figured thank you. Where would I find the functions to change the fs? thank god the parity remains valid that was my biggest worry lol 😂
