[SOLVED] Upgrade Issue

[mchiao]

Upgraded from 9.1 sandstorm to 9.2 Shigawire by creating a brand new usb stick and import settings/configurations.

Everything appears to be working fine except getting this error in "Disks|Management".

Here is the error message: "The device(s) in config are different to actual device(s). Please remove the device(s) and re-add it or use 'Clear config and Import disks'."

Once I click on 'Clear config and Import disks' button, the message goes away,

Is this normal? Since hardware hasn't been changed.

YES it's normal.

Is this normal if you haven't upgraded the OS? Or maybe I did months ago, and never noticed this error until just now (rebooting a handful of times since then)?

And clarifying, "Clear config and Import disks" doesn't mess anything up or lose data?

Just more info, all 10x disks in my raidz2 are red. If I "Clear config and import disks" I really won't lose any data?

Clear config is just that, clears the configuration only, data remains. You will need to re do smart & power settings for each drive. But data will not be lost.

Ok, that's good. Can I do it while it's running, and being used by others? Or should I wait til everything's done copying?


It's serving files over multiple protocols. Performance is fine, no errors anywhere (except in the Disks-Management page). I'm not even sure what caused this, or how long it's been saying this.

So, to answer my question. Yes, it worked fine, while using it. I even started a large file copy and clicked the "clear config and import disks", and nothing even blipped.

Thanks guys
