Can only add new disk to slot 9+

[chiefo]

Hi All,

 

At one point i extended my array, and then removed the old 4tb disks. Just recently I bought a 14tb disk to replace my 12tb parity and am now trying to add the 12tb disk to the array. The array currently looks like this:

 

 

If I put the old parity in slot 1-4, unraid wont let me format and start and says no data disks. If i add it to slot 9+, it shows as valid new disk and lets me start the array. Is there some sort of new config I need to do to get disks back into slots 1-4?

 

 

With the old parity disk in slot 4, and the rest of the disks in 5-8:

Which Unraid release?

Currently on 7.0.0-beta.2, however I originally shrunk the array probably over a year or two ago so it would have been on 6.x at the time.

It's a bug, I'm going to report it to LT.

As a workaround you can do a new config to re-arrange the disks (the ones currently assigned) and then check "parity is already valid" before array start.

Thanks. That did it. I then stopped the array and added the old parity disk as disk 5. Its currently clearing with the rest of the array running properly.
