uktz Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I'm trying to add a parity drive to my system, but it's telling me invalid expansion. As shown in the screenshots Any ideas? Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Looks like you are also trying to add disk4 and disk5 at the same time as the parity drive, is that correct? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 It says you may not add new disk(s) and also remove existing disk(s). Did you remove any disks? Quote Link to comment

No, didn't remove any disks. 4 minutes ago, jonathanm said: Looks like you are also trying to add disk4 and disk5 at the same time as the parity drive, is that correct? That is correct /u/nitebleu over on /r/unraid was able to help me. I had to start the array, stop it, add the parity disk, and then start it again. Unraid is now seeing my parity drive Quote Link to comment
