thanks, seems reasonable to change the filesystem. I will reread this thread.

is it worth it to change the file system?

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!

Looking for a slightly bigger file server for big video files

Hi,
I have not been here for a while....6 years 😁,....but I am now looking into building a big file server for larger video files. During the pandemic we have built a video studio in our company and I need a place to store our productions. As I still have an older unraid setup in the garage, I was thinking, maybe I could ressurect it with new HDDs and SSD cache.
Here is the old setup:
Supermicro MB775 I-3210 X7SBE
2x Supermicro Cont SATA2 AOC-SAT2-MV8 PCI-X
Intel Core 2 Duo E5200
4gb ddr2 800
Corsair TX750W
Norco 4020
Would it be worth using the old hardware or at least the case?
As the data I produce in a shooting day is in the range between 50GB and 2TB, is unraid quick enough for me, if I want to overnight backup?
Thanks in advance for your insights!
