April 12, 20188 yr Hello, I have just bought Unraid and I have finaly set up my new System. I first had only 1 disk and now I have added the second Disk . The question is . How can I tell if I am using Mirror Array . I have attached a Picture of the Array Picture. I want a Mirror Array of the disk. Or is it that I have to do it via the Share section and click on each share and assign it to both disk ? Thanks
April 12, 20188 yr Community Expert unRAID uses parity for data disks, not mirrors, though you can have a raid1 equivalent array with 1 data disk plus parity.
April 12, 20188 yr Author How do I do this ? Is it via the second screen shot , where I select the disk for each share I have ?
April 12, 20188 yr Community Expert You just assign one disk as data and the other as parity and it will be automatically mirrored, shares have nothing to do with that.
April 12, 20188 yr Author i stop the array and when I select Disk 2 and choose "no device". a error comes up saying Disk is missing.. Even thou I can select that disk for the Parity. Do I have to physical remove the disk of the motherboard and then re-attach it and do it all over again > In
April 12, 20188 yr Community Expert There appears to be a some data on disk2, first move it all to disk1, or it will be deleted when doing the below, then: -Tools -> New Config -> Retain current configuration: All -> Apply -unassign disk2, re-assign it as parity and start the array to begin the parity sync
