Hi All, 

Potentially a silly question coming, however I just don't want any more issues. I've carried out some work on my Unraid server after having repeated disk failures with bad SAS cables. (Don't cheap out on these, if you looking at moving to Unraid systems btw... you'll learn the hard way like me). 

The only things hardware wise that has changed is my HBA card and the cables between the disks, however on booting into Unraid (After a few issues of disks not being picked up) I've got my system back online and working so far. 

The thing that I've noticed and what has got me concerned is that the mount points of the disks are different from the previous system. I believe I have read somewhere that the OS automatically hands these out at boot, however, this makes me ask the following question. 

Before doing the work, I manually kicked off the Parity check, so before doing this I had a valid and recent parity check-in. Schedule wise, my next parity check isn't until around 1st Jan, will I encounter issues if I leave the system as it is with drives having different mount points?

 

I am half temped to hit the "new config" button, and let it rebuild parity anew, should I do this? or will I be ok? 

 

Thanks.

Not clear what you mean by a mount point?     If you mean the sdX type device names then these are irrelevant as Unraid does not rely on them and anyway they can change between boots.

Correct, you've got it. Those are what I'm on about. So, as everything is looking good, don't worry about mount point in future?
