Hello all,

 

So I built my box, installed a few drives start array, started moving some data over and noticed errors. The data I moved was copied so it is not needed. Here the current set of drives... 1TB data drive (throwing errors), 2TB data drive and a 2TB Parity. 

 

I bought 2 4TB Reds and now wish to install and I'm confused because the swap procedures and most questions deal with existing data. I just want to install the new drives and though I could slide them in, go to Main and map everything the way I want it. When I do this though unRAID complains regarding the parity drive not there, wrong drives in disks, etc. 

 

Ultimate questions. Is it safe to just install the drives, map the drives to the disks I desires and start the array. There is no data that needs to be kept on the existing array. 

 

Here's the new mapping:

Parity - New 4TB

Data1 - New 4TB

Data2 - 2TB (old parity drive)

Data3 - 2TB (mapped currently mapped to Disk1)

 

Retire - 1TB (drive that errors - currently mapped to Disk2)

 

Thank you for any help.

Yes: Tools -> New config

Oh man. Thank you. Sorry to start a whole post for such a straight forward solution.
