Abzstrak Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 So I ordered a couple of 16TB drives to replace a couple of my 4TB drives. I plan to replace the parity drive first, and I plan on just powering down, replacing the drive, reassigning parity to the new 16TB and starting the array. Do I have to do anything to make all the space on the new drive used correctly on the parity or data drives? Then I was thinking the old drives are 512b but these new ones are 4k, but given the way that unraid does the array I would think that wouldn't be an issue.... right? Quote Link to comment
Solution Squid Posted May 19 Solution Share Posted May 19 Nothing to be done. Just replace the old drives with the new ones one at a time and start the array and the OS will rebuild the appropriate contents and expand the file system to take advantage of the extra space (once you get to the data drives) Quote Link to comment
