Hello, I had a quick question to moving disks around in an UnRAID environment.

 

All disks in question were pre_cleared once from purchase date.

 

Basically what I am doing is replacing DISK10 (2TB) with a 4TB Disk, so that is re-building now.

 

I am then going to replace DISK 4 (500GB) with the OLD DISK 10 (2TB). Being that DISK 10 (2TB) has data on it (which is being rebuilt now) Do I need to pre_clear DISK10 again before adding it into DISK 4's place?

 

Or can I simply remove DISK 4, put DISK 10 in and allow it to format and re-build VIA UnRAID GUI.

 

Thank you

You can replace and rebuild. DO NOT FORMAT the disk. Format is included in the rebuild. There should be no option to format unless something has gone horribly wrong.

Alright sounds good. Yah, when you invoke the re-build, it clears the disk before hand (formatting it in some way) , just wasn't sure if I should pre_clear again.

 

I'll do just that, replace DISK 4 with DISK 10, and start the rebuild.

 

Thank you.
