JustMedium Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Hey guys, while trying to backup a bunch of files I accidently deleted them (rsync --delete on the wrong side...). Before doing this phonomenal action I let the parity be checked. So if I understand this parity thing correctly, my files should "saved" on the parity disk, right? If so could anyone tell me how I rebuild them? Thanks, JustMedium Quote
trurl Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 No parity doesn't have any data. There is no magic that would allow parity to have the capacity to be a backup of all the other disks. Parity is just an extra bit that allows a missing bit to be calculated from all the other bits.  And Unraid parity is real time, so as soon as you deleted your data, parity was updated and agrees that the data is deleted. Quote
