Sorry if this is answered, I did search but to no avail:

 

I just upgraded my server, I'm on the latest unRaid.  On my old server I used the cd-rom sata connections and it worked, but my 4tb disk was only recognized at 2.20gb.  I was fine with that arrangement and all was good.  I just moved all the drives to a new server and the mb sees all my drives as the sizes they should be...so great! BUT, 2 disk on the old server were thought to be "2.20gb", but now in the new server it sees them as 4tb and 3tb, which is physically correct, but according to unRaid they are "wrong disks" due to the size being suddenly different....

 

Any thoughts on next steps?  I installed the unBalance docker before the move with the plan to migrate one disk to another so I could 1 by 1 re-add it as the proper size.  I didn't realize since the new server sees the full size, so does unRaid. 

 

Thoughts on how to proceed?  Thanks in advance for any help.

Tools - Diagnostics. Post result.

 

I think unRAID has probably resized the partition for you, but just want to check your diagnostics. If that is the case, then you will have to new config and rebuild parity.

PM sent.  Thanks.

Does it say the drives are unformatted?

No, the drives show up as xfs as they should.

I think you will have to New Config and reassign all drives and let it rebuild parity. Make sure you assign all the drives correctly, especially the parity disk. If it decides that any disks are unformatted, don't start the array.

Ok, thanks for the guidance!  I will try to new config, making sure not to assign Parity or Cache to data.  Once that happens I'll see if they are formatted I'll start the array and rebuild parity. 

 

If it decides they are not formatted I'll hold for further instructions (no array start).

 

I'll let you know.

 

Thanks again.

THANK YOU!!! 

 

I did as you said....new config, re-added the drives and nothing showed unformatted.  I started array and eveything is up.  The drives expanded to their actual size without doing anything!  I'm building parity now.

 

Appreciate your input and direction!
