March 5, 201511 yr So here is what I have done. I got a new drive 3TB... I stopped the array and removed disk 2 (reiserfs) from the array, and added the new 3TB disk to the array formatted as XFS... I mounted disk 2 to a folder... I copied all contents from disk 2 to disk 11 via the "cp -ruv" command, disk 11 is the new XFS drive. My intentions are now to format the existing disk 2 to XFS and move contents from another disk to it. After I move the contents of another disk to the XFS formatted disk 2, I will perform the same to the other disks . How do I remove the previous disk from the array and re add it as XFS? Or would I just stop the array add disk 2, start array and format it to XFS?

March 5, 201511 yr Author I guess I didn't really ask the right question, either way I figured it out. Thanks
March 5, 201511 yr Community Expert Glad to hear it. Did you find that other thread helpful? Don't hesitate to ask in the future. It's much better to ask if you are uncertain than to make a mistake and lose some data.
March 10, 201511 yr Author Glad to hear it. Did you find that other thread helpful? ... No I kind of did it my own way using the move command.
