I'm in the process of converting all my disks from rieserfs to XFS. To start I emptied a 500gb disk I had in the array that was rieserfs and replaced it with 4tb disk that I started as XFS. I then formatted it and unraid rebuilt the empty disk.

 

Question is this after all my disks are converted over should I rebuild parity from scratch or is that totally not necessary and overkill? I assume just a parity check is sufficient to ensure I have a valid parity disk even after all fs changes because even if it was totally wrong correct would just fix it.

 

My main concern is that I want to make sure my parity is perfectly valid since I replaced a disk and changed the fs before the rebuild. Don't think it matters but I wanted to make doubly sure.

 

Also how would one trigger just a parity rebuild without going through new config and wiping out disk settings?

 

 

Thanks

 

Unraid 6.1.9

Technically even a parity check is completely optional as parity would have been updated throughout the entire process.  But it never hurts to check

Yeah it was a stupid question and I knew the answer. Just one of those times you just like to hear someone else say it 

 

Thanks
