I am almost done setting up my new server, I have done the initial parity sync, is it then necessary to do a parity check after the initial sync is done? The array is empty as I have no data on the server yet.

 

Thanks.

Yes.

 

Otherwise you have no idea if what the system just calculated/wrote is actually correct.

Yes.

Exactly that, and to expand on that a little it's a good integrity test before you start trusting the array with data. The check should return zero errors, if it shows any at this stage you know you still have troubleshooting to do.

Thanks
