I followed the instructions https://wiki.unraid.net/The_parity_swap_procedure

my scenario: 12tb parity, 6tb data drive, new 14tb drive. I wanted to replace the 12tb parity drive with 14tb, and use the 12tb to replace the 6tb drive. I felt pretty confident since that's exactly the scenario the parity swap procedure is intended for.

I followed the instruction down to step 14, after 24 hours of copying 100%, I didn't get "The Start button will now be present, and the description will now indicate that it is ready to start a Data-Rebuild." but the same "COPY" button again, did the parity drive copy fail? IDK, except the only option I have is to try to copy parityagain. not sure if another 24 hours of copying will amount to anything.

any tips would be much appreciated.

Did you reboot? Syslog ends here:

Dec  8 22:33:20 unRyzend emhttpd: copy: disk2 to disk0 running

 

There's no error but also there's no info it completed.

it went thru the 2nd time around, wish I had anything meaningful to add, but just glad it's working.

You should run a parity check, since there's known bug with the parity swap where sometimes the new parity isn't correctly zeroed

thanks. it's in the process of data rebuild now (from 6tb to 12tb). parity check afterwards?

Yep.
