ramblinreck47 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I just got started and I’m not sure if I did something wrong. I spent 50 hours preclearing my 10TB drive, and all signs pointed to it passing just fine. I then stopped the array with my 2 x 8TB drives (not protected), put my 10TB drive as Parity, started the array, and was immediately confronted with two messages (below). Did I do something wrong is or is there something wrong with the disk? Once seeing this, I stopped the Parity sync and restarted it. On the restart, I didn’t get any errors or any warnings at all. Was this normal or just a freak occurrence? I’m sure it’s just the wordingthat threw me off. Seeing “disk error” freaked me out. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Those messages are normal during the sync, nothing wrong so far. Quote Link to comment

It scared me this morning. Is there any possibility that in the future they change the wording? It’s not that big of a deal but seeing “error” shouldn’t be part of any normal procedure.

JorgeB Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 It's correct because while the parity sync doesn't finish the disk is invalid, i.e., in error, the important part here is the title of the notification: Parity disk, parity sync in progress: it's just warning that a parity sync started (and the parity disk will be invalid until it finishes) Quote Link to comment

Thanks once again for the assistance. I’m like a full week away from getting fully operational, and I’m just worried something is going to go horribly wrong. I just want unRAID to work for me so bad.

Notifications with an alert importance (red) indicate events which need immediate action / checking. 1 Quote Link to comment
