Controllers/Disks mixed up

[Landrig]

Hi all,

 

I have two controllers (external enclosures) for my HDDs from the same vendor - and figured out a strange problem. I first created my disks array. Later I wanted to add the parity as a Raid0. All via USB3.

 

Unfortunately, unRAID mixes these two now up. The identifier of the controller is the same, both are shown as first disks in the enclosure (0-0) - and whenever I select the 8TB Raid zero as parity device, I get the 4TB Disk for from the array (which is also the first disk 0-0). Even if the disks are different, and the size, I can't use both the same time. When I select the raid 8TB as Parity, it is populated with the 4TB disk. And the slot for the 4TB displays an error.

 

I added a screenshot of the problem. I tried it with new config multiple times, but without success.

 

I now switched the Raid enclosure to the eSata cable, as then I get a completely different ID - and all works. But I would like to switch back to USB3, as its faster.

 

Any ideas? A bug?

 

Thanks and best,

Landrig

Using USB for array disks is a very bad idea, and the reason above it's just one of the possible problems.
