elmn8r Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'm running Unraid 6.5.3. All drives in my disk array are 4TB. I purchased two new 8TB drives with the intent of replacing the parity drive and then one of the data drives. As luck would have it, one of my data drives has failed prior to me replacing the parity drive. I know the parity drive must be at least as large as the largest data drive. So does that mean I can't replace the failed data drive with an 8TB drive and then immediately replace the parity drive once the data drive is rebuilt? Do I need to get another 4TB drive and get the data drive rebuilt, then proceed with replacing the parity drive? How should I proceed? Quote Link to comment
