> **Colored Status Indicator** the significance of the color indicator at the beginning of each line in *Array Devices* is as follows: > > Normal operation, device is active. > > Device is in standby mode (spun-down). > > Device contents emulated. > > Device is disabled, contents emulated. > > New device. > > No device present, position is empty. > > **Identification** is the *signature* that uniquely identifies a storage device. The signature > includes the device model number, serial number, linux device id, and the device size. > > **Temp.** (temperature) is read directly from the device. You configure which units to use on > the [Display Preferences](Settings/Display) page. We do not read the temperature of spun-down hard > drives since this typically causes them to spin up; instead we display the `*` symbol. We also > display the `*` symbol for SSD and Flash devices, though sometimes these devices do report a valid > temperature, and sometimes they return the value `0`. > > **Size, Used, Free** reports the total device size, used space, and remaining space for files. These > units are also configured on the [Display Preferences](Settings/Display) page. The > amount of space used will be non-zero even for an empty disk due to file system overhead. > > *Note: for a multi-device cache pool, this data is for the entire pool as returned by btrfs.* > > **Reads, Writes** are a count of I/O requests sent to the device I/O drivers. These statistics may > be cleared at any time, refer to the Array Status section below. > > **Errors** counts the number of *unrecoverable* errors reported by the device > I/O drivers. Missing data due to unrecoverable array read errors is filled in on-the-fly using parity > reconstruct (and we attempt to write this data back to the sector(s) which failed). Any unrecoverable > write error results in *disabling* the disk. > > **FS** indicates the file system detected in partition 1 of the device. > > **View** column contains a folder icon indicating the device is *mounted*. Click the icon to > browse the file system. > > If "Display array totals" is enable on the [Display Preferences](Settings/Display) page, a > **Total** line is included which provides a tally of the device statistics, including the average temperature > of your devices. > > The Array must be Stopped in order to change Array device assignments. > > An unRAID array consists of a single Parity disk and a number of Data disks. The Data > disks are exclusively used to store user data, and the Parity disk provides the redundancy necessary > to recover from any singe disk failure. > > Since data is not striped across the array, the Parity disk must be as large, or larger than the largest Data > disk. Parity should also be your highest performance drive. > > Each Data disk has its own file system and can be exported as a > separate share. > > Click on the Device name to configure individual device settings and launch certain utilities.
> **Slots** select the number of device slots in your server designated for Array devices. > The minimum number of Array slots is 2, and you must have at least one device assigned to the array.
