threiner Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 When i startet my build i put a lot of drives in my Server so i am now on 24 drives, most of themn are 2TB drives, what only take space and use electricty. I like to move the Server in a different case and shrink the amount of drives down. There comes my question on this 2 TB drives are next to zero data on usually only a few GB, now i woiuld like to move this data to on e of the bigger empty drives and the take the small drives out of the pool to shrink the amount of drives down. I would be very happy if someone could tell me what is the best wa to do that. I use user shares, so this shares span over all the drives. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

JonathanM Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Tools, new config, rebuild parity. Be very careful when assigning drives to the parity slots as they will be completely overwritten. Quote Link to comment
threiner Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 so is just need to make sure i reselect the original partiy as a parity ? Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Yes. You can use the preserve all option in new config to help you. Quote Link to comment
