Parity Check - Can't figure out how do quarterly.

[Derek_]

Hiya, i've been trying for ages to get a quarterly parity check. Here's my settings:

 

• Custom
• Monday
• First Week
• 09:00
• January, April, July, October.

 

I've tried a variety of permutations and i can't seem to get it to use the months i select. It'll do daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.

 

What am i missing/doing wrong? I'm on 6.8.2.

 

Thanks.

Any ideas?

I suspect you will need to make a feature request.  I will point out that most people do it monthly.  It seems like this catches most problems while they are still minor and usually easily addressed.  If one waits to long to address a problem, a second one can occur and the two minor problems become a major problem that could result in data loss.

Set something like this

 

This will start a parity check every 3 months on the first Sunday at midnight.

 

And update to the latest Unraid version.
