Anesthaesia Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Hi all, I have just upgraded to V6 following the upgrade instructions. After booting the array I can access the GUI from my workstation but no drives are assigned which is covered in the 'clean' install section of the instructions. I have assigned the drives as per the original allocation - however the parity shows 'All existing data on this device will be OVERWRITTEN when array is Started' I assume this message relates to the parity only which will need to be rebuilt? I just want to confirm that it is safe to start the array without any data being affected. Cheers, D Link to comment
bonienl Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Yes, this is for the parity disk only. Its contents are overwritten due to the necessary rebuild. Your data disks are not touched. Link to comment
Anesthaesia Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 Thanks unRAIDable The parity is currently rebuilding. I see under permissions that I need run a one-time update "This is a mandatory one-time action to be taken after upgrading from a pre-5.0 unRAID server release to unRAID v5 or a later release. Select ALL DISKS when performing this one-time action." Can this be done while the parity is rebuilding? And should I also select ALL for shares? Link to comment
bonienl Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Can be done any time. Link to comment
