bishyb Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Hi all, Just a quick one to double check before I start my array on a new motherboard, migrated 3 existing hard drives (2 x data, 1 x parity) to a new motherboard. The 2 data disks mount and work ok, but the parity disk is showing as "ALL DATA ON THIS DISK WILL BE ERASED WHEN ARRAY IS STARTED" beside the drive and also "Start will start Parity-Sync and/or Data-Rebuild." beside Start: Am I ok to start the array and not lose any data on the data drives? Cheers, Andrew. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 You wont lose any data if you start it like that but something went wrong (or you started the array without parity assigned) during the migration as parity is being detected as a new disk, and it will be re-synced. If parity was valid best option would be to do a new config, re-assign all disks and check "parity is already valid" before starting the array, you should then run a parity check to make sure it's valid.

bishyb Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Thanks Johnnie, should also add I went from 6.3.5 on the previous motherboard to 6.4.0-rc9f. New config, is that just for the drives or does that wipe all unRAID settings too? Cheers, Andrew. Quote Link to comment

That wouldn't cause your problem. 1 minute ago, bishyb said: New config, is that just for the drives or does that wipe all unRAID settings too? Just the array config, i.e., the disk assignments.
