dc88 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I'm working on moving my Unraid 6.8.3 over to a beefier server. I moved the drives over and booted from the USB. Boot is occurring fine, seeing all the hardware and such. However, when I go to try and re-setup the array layout, the drive names are just slightly different. Unraid thus thinks these are the wrong drives. Is there anything that can be done to work around this without loss of data? Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 This often happens when one of the SATA controllers is a RAID controller rather then a HBA running in the IT MODE. You can use the New Config Tool ( Tools >> New Config ) to assign the drives to the slots that you want each drive to be assigned to. As I recall, you can also optionally tell if to assume that parity is valid IF you are sure that it is. Quote Link to comment
dc88 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 That was it! And now that you told me I recalled using it when I added a couple drives a year or two ago. Thank you very much for the assist! Quote Link to comment
