trurl Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 By looking in your post history I found an older diagnostics zip file. Let me see if I can fill in the blanks left in your post. After upsizing parity, you took the old parity disk and added it as a new disk3. Is that correct? 1 Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 @fluffybutt Be sure to take a new backup of flash now that you have reused parity as data. This is exactly the situation where you don't want to use an old backup and have it start writing parity data to your new data (old parity) disk. Has happened to more than one user.
