Unraid treats that write operation just as it does any other write operation, it updates parity. So after formatting a disk in the parity array, parity agrees the disk has an empty filesystem. so what would be the best way after ive done a parity rebuild onto the 1st parity disk should i then replace my disk 1 and rebuild that and as for disk 7 should i Stop the array unassign the drive start the array to commit the current assignments (and ‘forget’ the drive just unassigned) Stop the array assign the drive start the array to rebuild the drive can i just say thank you guys for all your help with this im just panicking about losing my data as i was in the process of upload my most important files to the cloud Edited September 17, 20196 yr by gavin_UK forgot things
