Parity

[Masturnar1]

Hi

I just added a second parity disk 4tb. My system now has a 2tb and a 4tb in the parity section. For data disk, I have 2x 2tb. I tried to add an other 4tb data disk and they gave me this error near the start button  ( see screenshot ):

                        If this is a new array, move the largest disk into the parity slot. 
                        If you are adding a new disk or replacing a disabled disk, try Parity-Swap.

What does it mean ?

 

Thanks for the help.

It means parity is smaller than the data disk you're trying to add, in this parity1, that can't be.

Can I just replace the parity 1 slot with the 4tb and rebuild, after the rebuild of the parity I will add more drive. Can i remove parity 2, I dont really need 2 parity.

Yes.
