NodNarb012 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I'm still running 5.0.6 on my primary server and instead of upgrading it to v6, I opted to use my second unRAID license to setup a separate server running a clean install of 6.1.8. I have a couple of brand new drives in the second server formatted as XFS, but I have NOT setup a parity drive yet; I'll do that once I copy my files from my v5 server. Can I put one of my v5 data drives (ReiserFS) in my v6 server without it triggering a reformat? Will I be able to copy the data from the v5 drive to one of the v6 drives? I think I'll be able to do this, but I just want to be sure I'm not overlooking some small detail. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Do you want to keep the v5 server with its disks, or do you intend to put its disks in the new server permanently? Quote Link to comment
NodNarb012 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 I'm going to keep the v5 server with its disks until I complete the data transfer. The only disk that I plan to permanently move to the v6 server is my parity drive, which I'll do once I transfer all the data. I understand that I'll have to rebuild parity, but I'll have a copy of all of my data on my v5 server while it rebuilds on the v6 server. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 You can always set a new config with whatever disks you want and if they have a supported filesystem unRAID will use them as is. Quote Link to comment
