Cancelled Disk Clear

[dboonthego]

I emptied Disk 2.  I replaced parity with a larger disk and allowed parity sync to complete.  I converted Disk 2 to XFS Encrypted.  When the array started, it began to clear Disk 2, but I cancelled it.  I formatted and started array and everything looked normal.  I stopped the array and assigned the old parity to Disk 6.  Started array and the clear process began on 6.  I let that finish.

 

Do I need to do something with Disk 2?  Or re-run parity sync?

This doesn't make much sense, only new disks added to the array are cleared, if you didn't reboot yet post the diagnostics.

I had rebooted before posting. I agree it doesn't make sense.  I might have unassigned/reassigned disk 2 in the same slot before changing the FS, but most definitely disk 2 started a clear which was unexpected.
