All new to me this, not finding much on how to resolve a parent-child issue mentioned.
I tried the -e option to diskmanager and it gives more info, but I don't see a way of correcting the problem. Seems good at telling me the issue but not at pointing in right direction to resolve, better still a tool to fix!
