January 23, 201313 yr I think this is possible but there may be angles I'm not aware of so please let me know if I'm crazy(er): I'm copying from an existing, working, parity-protected array to a new, completely empty array. If I run with the parity drive I'm getting write speeds of 30-40MB/s. Can I remove the parity drive and restart the array in an unprotected state? This will mean unraid won't have to sync two disks when I copy. I am aware this new system will not have parity protection until I rebuild the parity but I'm not really terribly concerned about that because the data origin has protection. After I've done the copy (~30TB), can I re-assign the parity drive then rebuild? Would I miss anything other than parity protection on the new system by doing this?
January 23, 201313 yr yes, you can do as you described. It will be then be mostly limited by the LAN speed.
