Parity2 without Parity1 possible?

[BigChris]

Hello, I wanted to change my parity disc and thought it would be good if I always had a valid parity during the whole process.
To do this, I set up a larger hard disk in parity 2 and after sync i removed the first parity disk.
Now I have an array, with 3 data disks and a ParityDisk2. This looks strange, but is it also a problem?
Could I assign Parity2 to Slot Parity? (as a cosmetic measure) Or are the slots not interchangeable?

No, it's not a problem

Yes.  You will need to rebuild parity to accomplish this though (fastest via a new config)

 

It is recommended when only having a single parity drive that it is installed as Parity, not parity 2, but it doesn't cause any problems
