I added a second parity drive but now on restart my array doesn't auto start with the error: read_file: error 2 opening /boot/config/super.dat. If I remove the parity drives from the config the array automatically starts fine on reboot. I've tried doing a new config without the parity drives and then adding them back in but nothing gets rid of the error or fixes it so the array auto starts if a parity drive exists. I can manually start the array with parity drives just fine.

This is not an error. The diags have parity2 assigned with the array started, so we cannot see what the issue is. Reboot and post new diags if the array doesn't start.

Here's the logs after a reboot with the array not started. I can start the array fine manually just fine.

Both parity drives are not yet synced; auto-start will only work when they are.

thank you, first time I've had a second parity drive
