May 15, 20242 yr I am trying to eliminate an unraid system. Is it possible to add the 4 data drives from it into my other bigger tower and assign them and setup shares for them They are all xfs drives What is the proper way to do this or can it be done? Thanks
May 15, 20242 yr Community Expert It's possible, but If you want to add them to the array, you need to do a new config and re-sync parity, if you just add them they will be cleared.

OK so I would powerdown the tower and add the drives from the other tower, then power it up but do not start the array Then go to new config.. I assume I preserve current assignments. Then I would assign the drives in new slots and then start the array and parity will get rebuilt Am I correct?
