BobNik Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Hi, i want to consolidate my array of 10 disks (9 data + parity) to 9 (8+1) and introduce a cash disk from one that would be extra. I think the steps are: 1. move data from data disk that would become cash 2. Flash backup 3. Parity sync 4. Stop array 5 .New config; making sure the parity drive is not mixed up, the order for data disks is not important 6. Assign disk from step 1 as new cash disk. 7. start array 8. another parity sync The array should be 8 data disks + 1 parity + 1 cash. Am I missing anything? Thank you Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 No point in the parity sync in step 3. When you start the array after New Config parity sync will begin automatically. Flash backup after changes more important than before changes. You should always have a current flash backup. Quote Link to comment
