questionbot Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Can I setup, install and use dockers and smb shares and stuff while the parity drive is being created? It looks like the drive will take nearly 20 hours to setup... can I start using the server while that is happening? Maybe install docker and setup plex... copy all my data from my old usb drives into the server... stuff like that? Edited September 12, 2020 by questionbot Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Yes. No problems with doing that. Just depending upon how everything is set up (ie: Plex scanning meta data etc) things will slow down. Personally though, I wouldn't copy over massive amounts of data from the USB to the array until either the parity build is done (or do it before building). Quote Link to comment

Squid Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Nope. It'll restart the build from scratch. (And a stop / restart of the array also necessitates restarting the build) Quote Link to comment
