YaBoiRobbo Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Just a quick and simple question. I would like to start fresh with unRAID (Install fresh copy of unRAID on USB) I currently have a existing unRAID array with lots of important data on it and I'm wondering on the new fresh copy of unRAID I install can I assign the disks (array + cache disks) without losing any data stored on the array and cache disks.

JorgeB Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 You can, assign all the disks to their original slots and check "parity is already valid" before starting the array. Quote Link to comment
YaBoiRobbo Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 So just to confirm I will not lose any data at all Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 No, unless you make a mistake on the assignments. Quote Link to comment
superloopy1 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Do you mean JUST the parity disk assignment needs to be correct? The other disks will be aok as long as you assign the right disk as parity won't they? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 The data disks might be assigned in a different order, no data would be lost, but parity2 wouldn't be valid if installed. Danger for your data would be to assign a data disk as parity. 1 Quote Link to comment
