Blizii Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted August 19, 2022 Solution Share Posted August 19, 2022 You can copy the data manually or add parity then do a standard disk replacement. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 If you ever want to rebuild anything in the array you have to have parity Quote Link to comment
