January 28, 20233 yr Author Any chance, of putting the (9) original drives back in...unassigned; and run a diagnostic. Then, swap out (1) "original" for the new; I assume stay unassigned...and run a 2nd diagnostic??

January 28, 20233 yr Community Expert Unless you have more larger disks you plan to install, I would forget about removing any disks until you get all disks converted to XFS. Why is disk9 missing? It is the only XFS disk you have. 1 minute ago, CDLehner said: My best recollection, is when I put the new drive in...430RX was on 9? I don't understand what you mean. Where did you put the new drive in?

January 28, 20233 yr Author I think "drive9"...is the one, not running in the bays (on break-out cables). Edited January 28, 20233 yr by CDLehner

January 28, 20233 yr Author I could put "9" back in; that's the failed to-be-copied drive. I just can't put 430RX (the "replaced" drive back in...unless that Cache option will work). Thanks for your help and patience.
January 28, 20233 yr Community Expert Did disk9 disconnect on its own and now it is an unassigned disk? Why isn't there a disk8?

January 28, 20233 yr Community Expert You thought you had copied disk9 to the new disk7, so you removed it? Is that what happened?
January 28, 20233 yr Author - Ran "fresh" parity check - Stopped array - Unassigned fullest 3T disk - Started array - Stopped array - Assigned new 8T, into fullest 3T slot - Start array (re-build, another parity check) - Stopped array - Then "copied" from another 3T, to the new 8T I stopped the array...unassigned 430RX. Started array, so it would "forget" about it. Put the new 8T in, and assigned it to the same "spot" (SDG); and started the array. I think, the missing "9"...is the disk (55926) I wanted to copy; thought I did, and therefore pulled it (and haven't put it back in yet). Maybe after the failed copy...which I didn't think had failed; I just pulled 55926 (array down, and powered-off of course), and didn't unassign it?? For now...should I just put 55926 back in, and run a diagnostic (according to however you direct me)? I do think 45HCW replaced 430RX correctly.

January 28, 20233 yr Community Expert Disk9 was the only XFS disk you had. Why did you choose that one instead of one of your other disks?
January 28, 20233 yr Author Just now, trurl said: Disk9 was the only XFS disk you had. Why did you choose that one instead of one of your other disks? Because I didn't know, that XFS was "better" than reiserfs. And disk9, is "outside" the bays 🤷♂️
January 28, 20233 yr Author I'm going to shut down...insert "9" back in. Start up, but not touch sh*t...until YOU tell me where to take it from there. Thx,
January 28, 20233 yr Community Expert reiserfs is going away. You need to convert all those disks to XFS. The only way to do that is to reformat them. So you are going to have to move their data off. You have gained a little space by upsizing one disk, but it is still reiserfs. Do you plan to install any other larger disks? 1 minute ago, CDLehner said: I'm going to shut down...insert "9" back in.

January 28, 20233 yr Author 4 minutes ago, trurl said: Do you plan to install any other larger disks? Not right away. The new 8, was to get (2) 3s out of the array; and my new case has space for 8 drives (the 8T, allowed me to go from 9 drives to 8). Eventually, sure; but not until after I move to the new case...and then there is need. 4 minutes ago, trurl said: Don't reassign disk9 or it will try to rebuild it. I won't. I put it in, going to start up...but no assignments or starting of array. I can run a diagnostic that way, yes? Edited January 28, 20233 yr by CDLehner
