July 25, 201312 yr I've got an email to Tom to get a new key, so that's in process. However, I don't seem to have a copy of my flash anywhere..which is totally my mistake. So I've lost drive assignments. I'm going to mount drives 1 by 1 and figure out what role each plays, so that's not a huge deal. I figure parity will not properly mount, a dead give-away! However, I just want to be VERY sure on the process to start up unraid with existing drives. I can't afford to risk losing 16TB of data and I have nowhere else to copy it. I couldn't find a page on this, but if one exists I'd love to follow instructions. Goal: Assign the drives properly (on me); need process to start array without formatting drives.
July 25, 201312 yr When you Start the array it will show you which, if any, drives are "unformatted". You have to intentionally check a box, then click on Format, to format those drives => so it's not something that will start up automatically or by accident. So you should be good to go with the process you've described.
