October 17, 201114 yr Greetings, I've have recently allowed a drive to rebuild following an upgrade to a bigger one. I notice while doing this, that is states on the webGUI that cancelling the rebuild will result in the array being unprotected (I'm assuming the parity info changes during the rebuild?) Anyway, it made me wonder what happens should the power go off. I do have a UPS, but it only lasts 30-40 mins in a power outage. Can the rebuild simply be re-started once the power comes back on? Or Do you have to put the original disk back in and calc parity again - Then start over?
