November 27, 20232 yr I currently have one disk missing on my array after I dropped it while rebuilding my server. I was already looking to buy more drives so I got two 18TB drives, however, my current parity is 14TB. My setup looks like this Parity - 14TB Array - 3x 8TB (one missing) What I'd like to get to Parity - 18TB Array - 2x 8TB, 1x 14TB, 1x 18TB Trying to figure out how best to go about this since my parity is currently emulating a missing disk. This is what I was thinking Add one 18TB drive as a second parity Allow dual parity build (assuming that's what will happen) After successful parity build, add second 18TB drive to unraid to replace missing drive After data is rebuilt, take out 14TB parity drive and add it back to the array Does this make sense? Or am I missing anything?
