Darkoverlord Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hi Guys, I got myself an SSD drive yesterday and once installed, I decided to add 3 more drives in the array. When the drives started formatting after I run 3 rounds of preclear on each, I started closing the case by screwing the screws in the end. Stupid move, as my elbow pressed the power button. Once restarted I got a red dot next to drive 3. I unmounted it and remounted and let the drive rebuilt. As it seems I was not a good move either since I got yet another time the red dot next to the drive. Now I will have to remove the drive, but given that I just installed the new drives, I have none left. Hence I would need to move one of the new drives (they are totally empty), into the place of the 3rd drive. Could someone guide me on how to do it, since I believe, if I just unassign the drive, this means that 2 drives will be missing? Attached syslog and printscreen. I am using version 5.0.5 Thanks in advance for all the help! syslog.txt Quote Link to comment

Darkoverlord Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 I am following the shrink array instructions. Just to confirm: When I reassign all the drives, I reassign them exactly as they were before? Meaning that my disk 3 will be removed and not used when I assign all the drives? In this case Parity will be parity, disk 1 will be assigned to disk one, disk 4 to disk 4 and disk 7 to disk 7? With disk 3 being blank. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
DaleWilliams Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Basically, 'yes'. But the data disk order doesn't matter, so don't get concerned if data #1 becomes #5, etc. Reassign PARITY to PARITY...and Cache to Cache...the data disk order doesn't matter and can change every time you reboot unRAID. The fact that its a data drive is determined from its unique drive serial number. Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 The data disk assignments will not change between boots. Disk 1 will always be disk 1. The device labels may change but that isn't the issue. The data disks can be assigned as desired. Quote Link to comment
