Stripe Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 So, I have a next problem... I had an array with 4 disks: 2TB WD RED - parity disk, 2TB WD RED - data disk1, 2TB WD RED - data disk2 and 500GB Samsung - data disk3. I've decided to use the smallest disk as the cache disk, so I copied everything from it to another disk, stopped the array, unassigned from the array disk3 and assign it as the cache disk. Next I've hit the New Config from Tools and pointed the disk which was a parity disk as the parity, data1 as disk1 and data2 as disk2. So now I have three WD RED 2TB disks in the array but I can't start the array because I've got a massage that... "Disk in parity slot is not biggest" Any ideas how to deal with this problem?

trurl Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 And make very sure you don't assign disk3 to parity, or it will get overwritten. See the serial numbers in the Before portion of the log. Quote Link to comment
