November 18, 20223 yr So here is the short of it. The total contents of my array is 3.5TB (of files and media) have 2 drives in my array. An old 5TB and a new 4TB I want to get rid of all the data on that 5TB (it was the first drive I added to the array) and have it live on the 4TB That way I can free up the 5TB to use for parity (did I mention that I currently have no parity drive, I know I'm sorry and I'm ashamed) So there it is Current config: No parity Array: 1x 5TB and 1x 4TB New config: Parity 1x 5TB Array: 1x 4TB How do I empty the contents of the 5TB onto the 4TB that I just installed? I also have another 4TB that I plan to add to the array after this maybe I can but my files on there for a brief moment while reconfigure the drives in my array? Thank you Edited November 18, 20223 yr by BAZOOKAPANDA
