Rebuild finished. I restarted the server to see what it would do before running check filesystem and it's hung on Mounting that disk. Been going for twenty minutes now. Won't respond to reboot or shutdown commands....just stuck on Mounting the new disk drive.

Thanks, will do. I'm in the process of converting now, it's the reason I picked up the 18TB drives.

Not sure what's going on here, but I was upgrading a 6TB drive to a 18TB drive and now the drive size is wrong. Unraid is showing Size as 408GB, Used as 18.4EB, and Free as 12.2TB. It also throws off the calcs for the total Array size. It shows 106TB where it should be 134TB, Used as 18.4EB, and Free as 25.6TB. Data Rebuild seems to be running properly. It shows the Total Size as 18TB and is closing in on 1TB complete. Should I just let this finish and restart and see if the problem corrects itself?

Yeah, I now know where I went wrong (and also shouldn't start a process I don't fully understand at 5am). It's just a matter of determining the best path forward. I figured at this point I should just let the drive continue the rebuild, but didn't know if stopping that and putting the old drive back in might have a recovery solution. Looks like I'll just let the new disk continue the data rebuild process, then move the files from the old one to the new disk, then start moving the data from the old rfs disks to the new xfs and so on until all the disks are xfs.

I read this thread too late and think I messed up while trying to convert from Reiserfs to xfs. I was trying to replace a 6TB drive with an 18TB drive, selected xfs as the file system, formatted the drive, and started the rebuild. Now it looks like the new drive is empty while the rebuild is completing (first post in this thread supports that). What's the best method here to try to recover the data? Just put the old 6TB drive in another computer and transfer over?
