Move disk from Array to Parity

[louij2]

Hi

 

How can I move the empty disk from my Array to my Parity.

 

Thanks

Yes, just do a Tools - New Config, and reassign the drives accordingly on the Main Tab

I just select Keep Data to keep my data?

[Squid]

New config doesn't actually do anything other than let you re-assign your drives.  Your data will be safe on everything (except of course whatever you assign to the parity slot)

I selected keep data last time and all my docker disappeared could that be cos it was stored on my cache?

If you didn't reassign your cache drive, then yeah that will happen.

Yeah, you didn't have a parity disk to begin with and since it hasn't been built yet from the data drives still remaining, then it is invalid.

Post your diagnostics before you do anything

Can I backup files I need then just wipe everything? or should I follow that

[Squid]

Except that you didn't do a rebuild and then attempt to mount the old drive.  You issued a new config, and every drive now thinks it has a duplicate UUID, and is now unmountable.  Due to the potential of loss of data, I'm bowing out until the filesystem expert can have a gander at this and advise accordingly.  A new config in and by itself should not make every disk unmountable.

Can I just shut the NAS down?

[Squid]

Sure.  That won't make a difference either way.

Rebooting should fix it, if it doesn't please post new diags.
