Hello, I am stuck again trying to sync. It seems I am out of parity space, yet there is over 2TB free on one of my parity drives. I am really not sure what to do here. I would prefer to not to move the files from data2 drive because I don't think that would resolve it. Is there a way to rebalance the parity drives to use more of free space on parityd1? Do I need to replace the two 10TB with two 18TB for parity drives? Thanks $ sudo snapraid sync Self test... Loading state from /var/snapraid/snapraid.content......

Yes, this can work well, I will use split parity. But instead I will do this: 1-parity 10 TB + 10 TB = 20 TB (18TB no problem) 2-parity 18TB = 18 TB To do this, do I need to fully regenearate parity files, or will snapraid automatically shuffle the parity information around the 10+10TB drives? And my config should look like this, .parity0 on two drives? parity /mnt/parityd0/snapraid.parity0 parity /mnt/parityd1/snapraid.parity0 2-parity /mnt/parityd2/snapraid.2-parity Well, on parityd1 I have snapraid.2-parity,...

I think that is a good idea but it does not seem practical long term. the files are hundreds of files that together make about 300-600GB of data. and the 18TB is where I will put my new data... so it will keep becoming a problem. could rebuild with 18TB parity as primary be the answer here?

I'm unable to sync recent changes, it seems because my 10TB parity drive is set as primary, and runs out of space because all my new data is going to my 18TB data drive. What do I do in this situation? I'm trying to think of a solution. Either I regenerate all the parity files, or move the parity0 to parity2 drive, and parity2 to parity0 drive, then set parity2 drive as parity0? Thanks $ sudo snapraid sync Self test...
