trurl Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Still wondering what you are copying though. Quote Link to comment

If instead, you are copying files from the emulated disks to other disks in the array, you are making everything work much harder than necessary. And why make any changes to parity and other array disks when you already have 2 disabled disks? No point in copying files to other array disks (and moving files would be even worse). That is the whole point of rebuild, and the whole point of parity. Quote Link to comment
