steelrat Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) 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, 2021 by steelrat Solved Quote Link to comment

Cache replacement is broken in v6.9, add/remove should be OK, but probably best to use v6.8 since it's known to be working there. 1 Quote Link to comment
