====== SnapRAID - Disks - Add a parity disk to an existing array ======

Add the proper **"N-parity"** option in the configuration file, and then run the **"sync"** command, using the **"-F, --force-full"** option:

<code bash>
snapraid -F sync
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  The **"-F"** option tells SnapRAID to recompute the full parity.

  * During the process, the existing data is still protected because the existing parity is not modified.

</WRAP>
