You can move if you wish, but I prefer copy as it's much faster, and you are going to be totally erasing the source drive by formatting it anyway. Just make sure there are no docker or network writes to the drives you are operating on. Reads are fine, but will slow the process a little.

Post your xml

Either command line rsync at the local console or ssh /telnet with screen, or the unbalance plugin. There are more ways to accomplish it, but those are probably the most efficient.

Sounds overly complicated. Is your wiring closet not in the server room?

If you enable the privoxy part of the docker, you can use the vpn tunnel for your web browser and web browsers in other dockers.

Just use the freshly formatted XFS drive as the destination for the next reiserfs victim in line. D1-2TB rfs copy to D5-2TB XFS format D1 to XFS D2-1.5TB rfs copy to D1-2TB XFS format D2 to XFS D3-1.5TB rfs copy to D2-1.5TB XFS format D3 to XFS D4-1.5TB rfs copy to D3-1.5TB XFS format D4 to XFS Done! End result, empty 1.5TB XFS in slot 4, all your data in slots 1,2,3,5. If that arrangement bothers you, after you finish the migration you can set a new config and assign the drives with the old parity in D5 as D1 and the rest of the drives down a slot number. Since you only have 1 parity drive, parity is still valid and if you select the "parity is valid" you will be fine.

That part is not strictly necessary, unless you have specific disk slot numbers assigned as data destinations. Which specific drive the data is on doesn't matter for user shares. Some light reading for your enjoyment. 🤣 https://wiki.unraid.net/File_System_Conversion

No, but not for the reason you think. Mixing format types in the array is perfectly fine. Using reiserfs is not recommended. I suggest you use the newly added XFS drive to migrate your other drives to XFS. Copy all of one of your other reiserfs 2TB drives to the XFS drive, when you are sure the copy is complete and verified, change the file type of the source to XFS, and format it. Do that one at a time until all your drives are XFS.

Does is work if you don't pass any hardware?

Without more info it's impossible to say for sure whether it will work on YOUR hardware. I can say for sure it works fine for many combinations, but it's hardware dependent.

Heh. If everything worked properly, it's not necessary. If you want to be SURE everything worked properly, do a correcting check and verify 0 errors.

Since this obviously works on a vast majority of systems, this report is useless without a hardware list and diagnostics zip file to give clues as to what is different about your system.

After it crosses the 2TB line it will speed up a lot. Probably be done in 18 hours or so.

Is there a list?

Sounds about right, depending on whether anything else is allowed to read or write to the array during the process, and the size and speed of the rest of your drives.

tools->diagnostics. Attach intact zip file here.

Log in to the KVM console, type diagnostics at the prompt, wait for it to complete, shutdown, pull USB stick, retrieve diagnostics zip file and attach here.

👍

At what point did you do that? The go file is only parsed at boot, so if you haven't rebooted after changing it, the line is still in effect.

If this http://www.supermicro.com/manuals/motherboard/C620/MNL-1949.pdf is the correct board, page 92 says this Onboard LAN Device Use this feature to enable or disable Onboard LAN devices. The options are Disabled and Enabled.

Normally you would configure the ISP modem to pass through your public IP with no firewalls either incoming or outgoing, and plug that ethernet into whichever pfsense interface you wanted to designate as WAN. If your ISP modem isn't configurable, it becomes a little more difficult, and you likely will be unable to access some services from outside. However, LAN access should still be quite doable. Forwarding services to the outside is not something you discussed in your post anyway.

+1. Sounds like a project. I guess I'm used to non-modular split rail supplies, where things are rather strictly defined by the manufacturer.

Unraid doesn't do what you want out of the box, but depending on your hardware you may be able to set it up that way. However... what you are asking to do is pretty advanced, and the fact that you are asking the question at all leads me to believe you don't currently possess the skill set to pull it off. You will need to settle in for some education, trial and error, and a lot of failure at first. If this sounds good to you, and you love learning and expanding your abilities, then go for it. If you just want to push a button and have it done, don't even bother heading down this road. Pfsense is one way to get where you are going, and it has a couple benefits right off. It's free software, and it runs perfectly fine (for now) on older hardware as a standalone, and when you get comfortable with it, you can make the leap to hosting it on your Unraid server, if your server hardware allows it. Search for space invader one's youtube channel, he has several tutorials on pfsense with unraid.

Is there a diagram showing which rails feed which wires? Many times only one of the rails is wired to the drive connections anyway, so splitting between the rails requires a custom cutting and splicing rewiring job.
