skler Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) I would like to reorder disks position, add a second parity disk and add few disks to the UnRaid Array. I have ZFS on all disks. I'm on UnRaid 6.2.10, with a single parity array. Is this the right (and faster) procedure? Step 1 - Rearrange disks Stop array Tools -> New Config (selecting the option to retain all current assignments) Move disks Set Parity as Valid Commit Changes and Start the Array Question 1: My ZFS Pools are called as diskX/share-name, for example: I've disk2/isos in Disk2. If I move this disk to 1 what will happens to the ZFS pool, will be renamed or Disk1 will have the disk2/isos pool? If it will not be renamed automatically, can I do it manually? Step 2 - Add second parity Stop array Add 2nd parity disk Start the array and calculate the parity on Parity Disk 2 Question 2: This will check also pairty on Parity Disk 1? Question 3: When I will have two Parity Disks, the parity calculation will be done on both disks? In case have sense to merge Step 1 and Step 2 and calculate parity on both drivers? Step 3 - Add new disks Preclear new disks Stop array Add new disk Start array (without calculating parity) Question 4: Will be parity2 valid adding new "zeroed" disks to the array?

Yes, and they are different and not interchangeable. 52 minutes ago, skler said: Question 4: Will be parity2 valid adding new "zeroed" disks to the array? Yes. Quote Link to comment
