    I found New Config referenced a few times but more related to disaster recovery, so I shied away. I will definitely try this out!

  3. jessetn
    TLDR: I need to promote an 18TB array drive as a 2nd parity, and replace it on the array with a smaller 14TB drive. Short story long... I purchased 2x 18TB drives last year. I did the "parity swap" dance with a 12TB drive. Instead of being actually smart and adding the other 18TB drive as a 2nd parity right then and there, I didn't. (to be fair, I was waiting on a HDD caddy for more mounting space) Fast forward to one of my 6TB array drives failing a few months later, so I panic-swapped it to my only spare drive, the other 18TB, so my kids could continue to watch their precious Coco on repeat on Plex. I picked up 2x 14TB drives during the holiday sales. I'd like to now replace the 18TB array drive with one of the new 14TB drives, so I can utilize the 18TB as a secondary parity drive. However, I find myself a little stuck not being able to replace the 18TB array drive with anything smaller (understandable) From my understanding, the failed drive or disk swap parity dance doesn't really apply since I would be reducing the total size of the array, but surely there's a "safe" way to accomplish this? TIA!
