unRAID 6.0-beta12

I have 2 WD Reds 3TB and I added 1 Samsung 250Gb HDD for torrents.

I added Samsung in array for couple of minutes (so unRAID formatted it to xfs) and then removed it from array (I left in same slot in server). Now I have error on Disk 2 "Not installed" and red square.

When I removed HDD I choose "unassigned" and then start the array. On Dashboard I get error: "Parity Status: Data is invalid".

 

How do I unassign disks correctly?

Your parity disk now contains parity information that includes the disk you have removed.

 

You will have to do Tools - New Config, assign the disks you want to use (make sure you assign them to the correct slots, especially parity)  and let it rebuild parity.

So I made (yet again ) stupid mistake. I am still learning... Thanks for help.

I have three disks two f which are external DAS via SAS port and one internal via SATA port. I want to remove third internal disk without deleting data on the two external drivers.

 

If I unassign the internal SATA drive and run "New Config" will I lose data on the external drives?

 

 

Thank you,

New Config will not affect existing data, only parity. Just make sure you assign parity correctly. If for some reason unRAID thinks a drive needs formatting, DON'T. Post back here for further advice.
