November 19, 20232 yr I keep reading "convert" from REISERFS to XFS but nothing for new blank drive and adding to size of array. It has also been many years since I added anything new (instead of going from 2TB -> 4TB) so i don't know where in process to select filesystem? Current setup: 4TB Parity Disk 1 2TB reiserfs DIsk 2 2TB reiserfs Disk 3 2TB reiserfs Disk 4 4TB reiserfs What I want to do: 4TB Parity Disk 1 2TB reiserfs DIsk 2 2TB reiserfs Disk 3 2TB reiserfs Disk 4 4TB reiserfs Disk 5 4TB XFS How do I go about this? I assume: 1) plug in new drive and select new drive in config (since unraid will detect drive change) 2) let new disk 5 drive preclear 3) Is this where you pick filesystem? 4) don't know 5) don't know 6) etc
