September 30, 2025Sep 30 Hi all,I have a 22TB drive that I want to add to my array. I want to swap one of my two 14TB parity disks with it while I wait for another 22TB to arrive, however one of my data drives in the array is in a disabled state. Is it safe for me to do the parity swap procedure while I have an emulated data disk? I figure the answer is probably yes since I have dual parity, but wanted to check while I wait for the preclear to finish on the new 22TB.I'd want to add the 14TB parity back to the array to replace the currently-disabled drive after the parity swap.Thanks!
