Need advice to avoid losing data


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, 

 

I need some advice please. I currently dont have any parity disks, i have an array of 4 disks and one of them is dying (disk3).

 

I am using unbalance atm to empty this drive.

 

I am not 100% sure on what to do next. I have read docs that say to stop the array and in tools "new config". Is this correct? and i dont understand option "Preserve current assignments" do i have to click this, my goal is to not loose files?

 

Thanks. I will sure get a parity drive to avoid this situations.

You have to do a new config, preserve current assignments is optional, it just pre-populates the assigned disks with the existing ones.
