August 18, 20223 yr Hello, I'm new to Unraid and currently only have a single drive system. So I don't have a parity disk and just an array disk. Now I plan to expand the storage so that I can use it as real data storage. So: How can I do this without losing share, docker or configuration data? Do I have to install a parity disk first and then can I just take the old array disk out and put the new one in and it will all rebuild itself? Unfortunately, I only have experience with Raid so far, so I don't know how to do it with Unraid.
August 19, 20223 yr Solution You can copy the data manually or add parity then do a standard disk replacement.
August 19, 20223 yr Are you planning to replace the existing drive or are you intending to keep it and add more drives? If the latter then simply add them to the array and Unraid will treat them as additional space.
