January 11, 20251 yr I am in the process of rebuilding the old unraid system, going from 18 drives to 3. After getting the new setup up and running, I was mounting the old drives one at a time in my Ubuntu box and literally copying the content over the network. This was taking forever as you can imagine. Then I got the bright idea to mount the drive in the new UnRaid server and use the file manager to copy the content right to disk1/media/Blu. Of course it flies. After the first 2 TB moved in it struck me, that writing that fast it has to be circumventing parity, right? If so, can I just re-run parity and have everything made right? And is the correct way to write to user0/share instead? Or is this not possible... TIA. Edited January 11, 20251 yr by mikechy

Parity is maintained when writing any disk in the array, doesn't matter if writing directly to disk or to user share. How fast? Attach Diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread. Might save some questions back and forth.
January 11, 20251 yr Author Correct. I was using the Unassigned Devices app to mount it outside of the array. It was clipping along at about 60-70 meg a sec. that's awesome if that works as I spent two days moving the first 6 TB over the network, lol. Thanks for the reply.
