Parity Issue during drive swap


Recommended Posts

Hi guys.  I know this is a newb post but I have no problem swallowing my pride and asking for help.  I was performing a drive swap procedure on Parity 1 with a different 8TB drive.  I performed a parity rebuild on the "new" Parity 1 drive and it showed successful.  For good measure I decided to perform a parity check with "do not write corrections to parity".  This completed but showed 148 errors.  I have never in my history of UnRaid had errors during or after Parity check.  What would your recommendation be?  I thought about rebooting the server re-seating the drives, and performing a check again but allowing it to write corrections to Parity.  How do I know the errors are with the Parity?   I am attaching the diagnostic log and I do still have the original Parity 1 drive and have not pre-cleared it yet.  There was nothing wrong with it.  Any an all help is much appreciated.  Thanks, Andrew

All sync errors are on parity2 (Q), you upgraded parity1 correct?

Yes. 

 

There is a little more to the story that may be relevant.  I unassigned Parity2 because I was going to perform a Reiserfs to XFS conversion.  Then remembered I wanted to swap my Parity 1 drive first and use the old parity 1 drive as the new conversion disk.  So then I re-assigned the original parity 2 drive, performed new config, and checked "parity is valid".  Nothing changed.  I literally unassigned and reassigned the same disk it did not even change physical slots.  I believe I then performed a parity check "no corrections" and all was valid.   After all that is when I started the parity drive swap.
