April 5, 201313 yr Assume I want to change disk order within array /see attachment/, so that sdf becomes Disk12 and sdk jumps to Disk10. Please note that I don't change Linux disk assignments by swapping SATA cables. Is it as simple as stopping an array and changing disks using drop-down menus? What happens when I have certain disks included or excluded within share? I believe I have to change it manually.
April 5, 201313 yr unRAID 5 associates disk# with drive serial. I think unRAID 4 associated disk# with port. In either case, drive letter (sdX) is not fixed but depends on when the drive responds on bootup. I think to change the disk# you are going to have to init config and rebuild parity. Maybe someone else knows a better way.
April 7, 201313 yr Author Looks like this is fairly easy and painless operation. No parity is recalculated. -stop the array -select "no device" option from drop-down menu for each HDD in question (to make the disks available to system for the step below...), -assign devices as you want /unRAID will say "wrong disk"/, -start the array Manual parity check proved in my case that everything was in order.
