November 30, 20241 yr After consolidating disks while preserving parity, my array has 2 empty slots. This necessitates manual array starts, which I don't like. Can I remove these slots w/o parity changes?

December 1, 20241 yr Author Solution I have dual parity. Your question made me poke around & find auto-start got disabled at some point. Things are fine now & the empty slots are now easily ignored. Edited December 1, 20241 yr by inkindar

However parity2 includes the drive slot number as part of the parity calculation so it would need rebuilding if you tried to reorganise the drives.
