Hi,
I recently revived a very old version (4.something) of my unraid to the new age (6.1.6). My server has numerous old hdds, with 500GB each and reisrfs. Now I have some 3TB drives, that I would like use instead. If I understood correctly, just exchanging one drive at a time would bring me reiserfs 3TB drives(after rebuild). If I expand my system with a new 3TB xfs drive, I need to copy the data. What happens with the user shares?
e.g disk 1 is 500GB and has partial files of 4 user shares
If I copy all that to a new 3TB drive, then stop the array, take out the old 500GB, restart the array. Would I need to rebuild parity for everything? Would the user shares be intact?
Thanks a lot for your help!
