Hi there unraiders,
First time posting here and I usually find threads going through exactly what I need help with.
However, this time I might have a somewhat new solution to an issue.
These are my drives, and they are as follows:
Storage = Disk 1, 3, 4, 6
Middleman storage + configs = Disk 2 ,5
However, now my Disk 2 pinged for some errors and didn't want to play ball anymore. I noticed some posts recommending to replace it ASAP, which I intend to. I recently installed 2 16TB disks to start replacing my 4TB disks. (Parity + Disk 6)
With this I began moving data from Disk 3 to Disk 6, and now it's almost empty.
What I want to do is this:
Empty Disk 3
Remove it from the storage share
Format if necessary
Rebuild Disk 2 from parity onto Disk 3
My question is, how should one do this in the most proper way?
Are there any best practices for this? What should I look out for?
The reason for this solution is that the server is currently somewhat of a frankensteins monster and I prefer not to meddle with it too much until it's moved to a proper rack.
Hoping for some good tips. Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Oaken
