July 5, 20241 yr Upgrading drive resulting in reducing total number of HDD from 8 to 6, currently 2 parity and 6 array all 8TB moving to 2 parity and 4 array 18TB, I have replaced 2 parity and first array HDD by stopping array, shutting down, removing 8tb drive and adding 18tb, booting, assigning new 18TB to array, starting array and rebuilding. Not superfast but doing the job, and yes, I could do 2 HDD at a time but better safe. Once I replace 6 HDD this way, I will be left with 2 x 8tb HDD in array with files on. Now previously I have used Unbalanced plugin to move files across from 1 disk in array to another, however in the past I have found that some apps, example is Plex and paperless, they pick up the move and reindex as recently added, even though it is the same file in the same mount point to the app /mnt/user/media. Does anybody know a way to stop this? or a tool that does do this? Hoping someone has solved this issue already.
