November 5, 201213 yr I just received 2 3TB WD reds... The plan was to replace the parity, then add the second. So I checked the server, and a data drive was red balled (750GB). SMART tests passed. I can directly access the disk (tower\disk#) as well which I thought odd. I rebooted the server and still redball. How I can replace the red balled drive, but this would make it the largest drive and thus parity which I assume would mess stuff up. If I replace the parity, then the red ball drive might not create parity properly etc... What can I do if I don't have another smaller drive available?
November 5, 201213 yr Assign a new disk a parity and the parity disk to the failed disk slot. unRAID will know what to do.
