Upgrading to larger parity drive + swapping bad data drive


Recommended Posts

As the title says, I am just having bad luck lately with my UnRaid build. A few weeks ago, I decided to upgrade the motherboard firmware, which resulted in no post screen! I figured out what went wrong and decided to upgrade to 6.12. Two days later, one of the data drives decided to give up! So I told myself, what the heck, I’ll just get new drives and build it away!

 

Now the challenge is, I have 1x 16TB parity with 2x 16TB data drives, one of which is bad. I bought two 18TB drives, hoping to swap the bad one with a slightly larger capacity while also upgrading that 16TB parity drive to an 18TB one.


My question is, how do I go about doing it? I know how to add a larger parity drive, but I am not too sure about doing that while also swapping the bad data drive. Does anyone have a suggestion?
