December 19, 20223 yr Hi, I have a problem when trying to upgrade a 16TB disk to an 18TB disk. Shortly after the rebuilding started, the new 18TB disk 1 was marked as read only. Dec 18 09:50:47 Tower kernel: REISERFS error (device md1): vs-4010 is_reusable: block number is out of range 3794305055 (99614707) Dec 18 09:50:47 Tower kernel: REISERFS (device md1): Remounting filesystem read-only It's only showing as 408 GB. Shows ok under the Dynamix Stats page. I have a share that just uses disk 1 mapped to a drive letter, and it shows empty, but when clicking in all the files appear to be there still. Had a disk made read only before and followed https://wiki.unraid.net/index.php/Check_Disk_Filesystems#Drives_formatted_with_ReiserFS_using_unRAID_v5_or_later Disk 1 is still rebuilding onto the 18TB. I haven't done anything with the previous 16TB yet, so could revert to that if needed. Should I let it finish rebuilding onto the 18TB disk and then check the file system? Attached diagnostics. Planning on converting them all to xfs soon. Thanks. tower-diagnostics-20221219-0930.zip Edited December 19, 20223 yr by mrbens

Shall I stop the rebuild and use new config to revert to the 16TB? Would it work If I did this: Re-add the 16TB in unused disk 17 slot after doing new config. Format the 18TB as xfs and set it as disk 1 to copy all data from 16TB disk 17 to it. Then follow the mirror method in https://wiki.unraid.net/File_System_Conversion to format 16TB as xfs and so on for all my disks to eventually get them all to xfs?

That will work, just don't add it a s new disk without doing a new config since it would be wiped. 4 minutes ago, mrbens said: Then follow the mirror method in https://wiki.unraid.net/File_System_Conversion to format 16TB as xfs and so on for all my disks to eventually get them all to xfs? Yep.
