need advice on parity rebuild

[larachbeg]

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

Shutdown server, replace drive, boot server, select replacement drive in parity slot, start array to rebuild parity.

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 ??

No harm in doing both at the same time.

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" ?????

Unsure what you mean by that. 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.
