January 2, 20206 yr Hi! I just installed Unraid and after some configurating a question dawned on me. Currently i have unraid setup with one drive, no parity yet as this is for testing purposes. I have setup one share for my VM storage and that share has Disk 1 as only "included drive", when i add a parity drive, will my VM storage share be recoverable with the parity drive? Since the share only has Disk 1 included.
January 2, 20206 yr Community Expert Parity doesn't protect/recover on a share by share basis, it's on a disk by disk basis, and all disks on the array are protected by it, if parity exists, include/exclude are just for shares to be on one or more disks.

Thanks! So i guess the "disk include" option decides how large that share is right?
