March 4, 20215 yr Hi everyone, I recently bought a second 1TB Cache drive to add to my cache pool, after the initial 500GB drive grew too small and I had already added another 1TB. Now I wanted to add the second 1TB and move to raid1 have better data security and remove the 500GB thereafter. As far as I've already read, I can add the second 1TB, wait for the cache balance to finish and then simply remove the old 500GB drive. This is my current config: Data, single: total=625.00GiB, used=608.64GiB System, RAID1: total=32.00MiB, used=112.00KiB Metadata, RAID1: total=1.00GiB, used=326.69MiB GlobalReserve, single: total=138.88MiB, used=0.00B My questions now would be: Can I move forward as planned? And would it make sense to upgrade to 6.9.0 before or after the cache changes? best regards Steel Edited March 4, 20215 yr by steelrat Solved
