December 18, 20241 yr Hi there, just want to be safe that i got the procedure correct. The goal is to replace two 8TB drives with one 16TB and also upgrade the Parity Disk to a 16TB. What i plan to do: 1. Mount the 16TB in unassigned devices format it to XFS 2. Rsync the content of two disks to the newer big one like this rsync -avX /mnt/disk1/ /mnt/disks/ID-of-new-disk / rsync -avX /mnt/disk2/ /mnt/disks/ID-of-new-disk 3. Because that takes a huge amount of time i will use the commands again after the disks have been copied so no intermediate changes are overseen 4. Stop the array, shutdown the server, remove old Parity and small disks 5. Start the Server, make a new config, be sure to assign the Parity correct and fill the other slots with data drives 6. Start the array, now Parity should be rebuild Is this correct so far? Thanks for youre help
