larachbeg Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Folks, i think my (single) parity drive is goosed. I have bought a new disk - its on its way. Can someone point me to the procedure for replacing the parity drive. I've been looking around - cant see anything. thanks in advance Richard Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Shutdown server, replace drive, boot server, select replacement drive in parity slot, start array to rebuild parity. 1 Quote Link to comment
larachbeg Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 Jonathan Thx for that. I've actually bought x2 new drives - was thinking i would move to double parity. Do i bung in both drives at once, and follow ur guide ? Or install parity 1 before attempting parity 2 ?? Richard Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 No harm in doing both at the same time. Quote Link to comment
larachbeg Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 Jonathan Due to a slip-up by my supplier, my x2 new parity disks arrived on different days. When the first disk arrived, i bunged into the server, and rebuilt parity. Done. Now the second parity disk has arrived, and i have allocated it to its slot, and we are doing another parity sync. Will UnRaid do some sort of background process now, that says "parity 1 - you handle this stuff, and parity 2 - you handle other stuff" ????? Quote Link to comment

The 2 parity disks are not reliant on each other, they both handle all the disks, and each one can emulate any other failed disk using the rest of the data drives. Quote Link to comment
