Re: Format XFS on replacement drive / Convert from RFS to XFS (discussion only)
Hi all,
So I'm not sure if this is expected behavior but I am running U6 b12 and just swapped DISK11 for a bigger disk (1.5TB -> 4.0TB). For some background, I moved from 5.0.5 straight to 6.0 b12 at the beg of December. I have my settings set to format all new drives as XFS. I precleared this drive in a temporary unRAID box and it had no FS on it. The way I removed it was setting the array not to start on next boot, shutting down, swapping the drive, starting back up, choose the new drive
Wow - hard to believe 29 pages of discussion about converting to XFS. It was almost exactly 2 years ago I wrote the initial comprehensive guide to convert. Thanks to RobJ, gary, trurl and the rest of the crew for continuing to enhance the process and supporting users enhancing their servers.
There was quite a debate about the value of converting when XFS first became an option, with reasons on both sides of the aisle. But at this point, XFS is proven. There are compelling reasons to convert
