August 30, 201114 yr Hello, I tried to upgrade a 1tb drive that is working fine to a 2tb drive for more space. (server case is full) There have been no problems with this server for several years. Against my better judgment, in a hurry, I did not run a parity check before the upgrade. (last one was 10 days ago) I stopped and powered down the array. Replaced the smaller drive with a larger one. Powered on and started the array and it started to rebuild. Last error on screen states: Kernal Panic - not syncing: Out of memory and no killable processes... Server is frozen at this point and I cannot save a syslog. Last syslog on the flash drive is from several days ago. I tried to power it on one more time and the same thing happened. I would like to just put the old drive back in at this point (which is fine). But it is saying: Stopped. Replacment disk is too small. Is there any way that I can get the 1tb drive back in there and run a parity check? Thank you.

September 1, 201114 yr Author Thanks! I ran memtest for 24+ hours with no errors. With the original drive in place I did a initconfig and parity rebuilt fine overnight.
September 2, 201114 yr Author Just an update: Parity check finished with the original drive in place. I then swapped in the 2tb drive in the same spot and it upgraded fine.
