GHunter Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) I'm going through the process of upgrading to 8TB disks and moving data from a few small disks (2 and 3 TB disks) to empty them and then remove them from the server by doing a "New Config" on a dual parity disk protected array. When I do the "New Config" does this invalidate parity? I will of course do a parity check when I'm done regardless but I'm not sure if I'd be protected or not until I manually do a parity check. Another question. Can i pull the parity 2 disk and replace a data disk in one operation? Thanks! Edited January 31, 2019 by GHunter Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Moving data off disks doesn't clear them, so parity won't be valid if you do a new config without them. 4 hours ago, GHunter said: Can i pull the parity 2 disk and replace a data disk in one operation? You need to start the array once with parity2 unassigned so Unraid "forgets" it, then you can use it to replace a data disk. Quote Link to comment
