Hanfufu Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Hey all! I just bought 2 new 1TB NVME SSDs for an existing cache pool in unraid. The old ones are also 1TB each and M.2. Since VMS and dockers are running from that cache pool, i wanna make sure it just works. Is it correct, that I can simply swap 1 of the drives, and on reboot, select the new drive, in the dropdown where it says missing disk. Start the array, let it sync the old drive to the new. Rinse and repeat with drive 2, when the sync is done? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Yes that's fine, assuming the current pool is redundant, also make sure you're using the current stable, this didn't always work correctly with older releases. Quote Link to comment
Hanfufu Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Am on 6.9.2, and yes the pool is redundant Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Upgrade to v6.11.1 first, v6.9 didn't stop the array from auto starting with a missing pool device, though you could add it later, and don't remember if there were other issues. Quote Link to comment
Hanfufu Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 I had some trouble with a disk suddenly not being recognized, and when it booted up it didnt start the array, and i had the option of selecting the missing disk. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 It did it for the array, not for pools until v6.10 Quote Link to comment
Hanfufu Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 It was the second m.2 NVME drive in the cache pools But ty for the info, will try to grow balls enough to try to update UNRAID 🥴 Quote Link to comment
