smino Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Has anyone grown a raid volume say 4TB to 6TB As one of their parity drives? I am currently testing this. The volume number shows up correctly, as does the size, but I get an error saying wrong... Parity Wrong 2001b4d2041407574 - 6 TB Should be... 2001b4d2041407574 - 4 TB Is there a way to force unraid 6.12 to accept the new size without loosing the data on it? Link to comment
sureguy Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Helpers will need to know what steps you took to replace parity Did you stop the array, unassign parity, start the array, then stop it again and assign the new disk? AFAIK you can't increase the size of your parity and maintain the contents of it Link to comment
mr-hexen Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 As far as unRAID is concerned, this is a "new" drive because the size is different. Just assign it and recalc parity. Link to comment
