July 15, 20233 yr Computer Background 3 Hard Drives 1 NVME AMD, BIOS Adjusted My background My degree involves computers and IT. I am looking to get started with Unraid and I have nothing on my drives I need to save. What I am trying to do Set up ZFS Eliminate old setup where Disk 1 and Disk 2 are marked for parity. The parity started and was canceled to make ZFS work. What problem I have Disk 1 and Disk 2 in Array Devices are marked as Missing with an X. These are supposed to be empty to make ZFS work. ---------- Appendix 1: The details Array Devices 2x Unassigned Parities with no X marks. 2x Disk (1 and 2) set to no device. Each one has a massive X mark that is red marked missing. Pool Devices Green NVME Cache 3 ZFS drives that are blue and a cache. Only 1 has a lock sign on it.
July 15, 20233 yr Community Expert Solution use "Tools->New Configuration" and get rid of all old assignments of the disks. (this does not delete any data, just the config of the array) Then you can setup your zfs raid and finally add it to the array. BTW: currently ZFS in the array is slow as a dog! you have been warned! Unless a mayor bug fix happens, it is almost unusable because of ridiculously low write speeds. But maybe this does not happen for RAIDs, so far only single ZFS disks seem to be affected from this.
July 15, 20233 yr Community Expert Note that for now you still need to have at least one data device assigned to the array, it can be an old flash drive.
July 15, 20233 yr Author Thank you for the help. When I push Tools->New Configuration, I set up "btrfs - encrypted" for drives of different sizes. I get told to "Enter new key", then I see "Wrong key" after entering it. Image 1: Attempt Image 2: Outcome with error What do I do? Do I try to format all disks? Thanks, Ryzen23
July 15, 20233 yr Community Expert No idea about encrypted volumes, I have no use for them. And, unless your server is located in a public place where anybody can pull out a disk and take it home, I also see no use for anybody.

If you are the paranoid type, being able to send back a failing disk for RMA instead of needing to destroy it can be quite the money saver. Also, done properly, encryption can keep things secret that could cause harm if it would fall into the wrong hands. Some servers are used for proprietary company information, medical profiles, credit information, stuff that would cause massive lawsuits if it were exposed. Not everybody here uses Unraid for just BluRay backup archiving.
