November 7, 20241 yr I've been having a great time with my unraid array. Long story short, I needed to pull all the drives out and when I plugged them all back in 2 drives wouldn't come back online. 1 is a Parity disk, and the other is just a disk in the array. I have 3 new drives on their way, but wanted to know what drive should I replace and rebuild first, the 2nd Parity, or the Disk? Or is it fine to do both at the same time? They are both 12TB disks, so this is a more than 1 day process at minimum.
November 7, 20241 yr Community Expert Solution You can do both at the same time if you have dual parity. I assume that parity1 is already a 12TB (or larger) disk?
November 7, 20241 yr Author OK, great! I hope that means we're only building for a day and a half and not 3. Yeah. parity1 is 12TB as well. Thank you for your help.
