Ah, fair point. In this case, I want to replace the drive with a larger capacity drive.

OK, thanks very much for the clarification. I know it was empty as I cleared it, with the intention of shrinking the array, in order to remove the disk. However, I read that the script method of zeroing the drive was no longer the preferred approach with recent versions of Unraid, so I decided to scale up my drive sizes instead. I have one more drive with ReiserFS still kicking around. Is the best method to fully empty it, format it and THEN remove/replace the drive?

Hello, thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Here is my current scenario: - I have an old 6TB disc which I removed from my server. - Before removing the 6TB drive, I moved all of the data via the unbalance plug-in to another drive. The drive was completely empty. - The 6TB drive was formatted with ReiserFS. - I just installed a new 20TB drive, in place of the 6TB drive. - I started the array, and began the data rebuild process. - I realized after starting the data rebuild that I wanted to move away from ReiserFS, so I stopped the data rebuild. Changed the filesystem of the drive and formatted it. - I then re-started the data rebuild. Have any endangered any of my data via this process? I still have the 6TB drive, it is healthy, and I have a flash back-up should I need to go back to the old configuration.

I am attempting to increase the size of my cache pool (single drive mode). I am following the directions outlined here in the documentation: https://wiki.unraid.net/Manual/Storage_Management#Backing_up_the_pool_to_the_array I have stopped all dockers and VMs. I have disabled Docker and VM Manager. All shares with 'Prefer' or 'Only' status have been changed to 'Yes.' I have run the mover service several times, and roughly 30MB of data has been left on the cache drive both times. I have attached a syslog with mover logging enabled. According to the logs, these files and/or directories don't exist. However, they very much are on the cache drive. I have also attempted to download diagnostics, but it seems these files are also being logged in the diagnostic output, and there are so many that the job takes too long and the browser window crashes. This has happened twice now. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks! syslog.log

Please disregard and feel free to delete this thread. Sorted out my issue. Managed to manually download the key file and copy it to the flash. Sorry for the noise.

Hello all! I am in a bit of a tough situation and would love some help, if possible. I am visiting my family for the holidays, and I built a server for my father. They live in a remote area and don't have dedicated internet (just a mobile hotspot device). I made the mistake of failing to register the new server while at my home with internet. I have purchased a full key but I wanted to know if there is a way for me to register my trial version without internet access. Can I somehow install the registration key directly to the flash drive? Thanks!
