I've been following the steps outlined in RobJ's post and completed all steps 1 to 17 for my first drive (all went well).
Now I'm about to do this for my second drive but have some noobish questions..
Before I started my array looked like this:
Parity 8TB
Disk1 2TB (reiserfs)
Disk2 2TB (reiserfs)
Disk3 2TB (reiserfs)
Disk4 8TB (empty)
I started with Disk1 so I now have:
Disk1 8TB (xfs)
Disk2 2TB (reiserfs)
Disk3 2TB (reiserfs)
Disk4 2TB (xfs, empty)
I can fit all the data from the three 2TB drives onto the 8TB so now I want to copy Disk2 to Disk1 - do I need to change anything (excluded disks etc.) or do anything different ?
I believe I have to use rsync -avPX /mnt/disk2/ /mnt/disk1/ (is this correct) ?
