Helllo.
I have 7 3 tb harddrives and one 250 gb, in an array. http://puu.sh/nyb7n/679b8d646b.png
the parity is one of them, so six 3 tb data drives, one 250 gb
one of the hard drives is failing and i want to replace it.
the drive is empty except the small things unraid have put there.
i want to replace the drive with a 2 tb drive. but when i do that it says
"The replacement disk must be as big or bigger than the original"
This confused me, as i was informed was that if you want to replace a drive it need to have capacity to hold all the data the old drive had, but not be the same size.
is this wrong? can i not replace a 3 tb empty drive with a new 2tb?
i would like to to the same with the 250 gb, but i need to replace the 3tb first since i can oly have one invalid drive a one time to start the array.
thank you for all help, much appreciated!
