Array questions

[NotesIn9]

Hi,

I'm running unraid via trial key at the moment to test it.  I have it in an older Dell PowerEdge T410 and while it's working great I think I will build a new computer for this in the future for better Plex transcoding.  But as I play with this I have a couple of questions regarding the Array and Shares.

 

Currently I have 2 3TB drives in the server.

 

1. I have both drivers in the Array.  There is no parity.  It looks like its writing to Disk 1 first and I guess would eventually use Disk 2.  I tried to remove Disk 2 from the array and wanted to make that a parity disk and it would not let me.  Is it possible to do that or must I start from scratch with everything?

 

2. When I reboot Unraid the Array doesn't seem to start automatically.  I have to manually start it.  I'm not seeing an option to Auto Start the array.  Am i missing something?

 

Thanks for any advice or help.

Thank you very much for the response.  That was exactly what I needed.
