j5428 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 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. Link to comment

dgaschk Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Enter "initconfig" and then rebuild parity. Link to comment
SSD Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Refer to the "Trust my parity" procedure in the wiki. Link to comment
j5428 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 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. Link to comment
j5428 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 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. Link to comment
