Still not opened, so I don't know if it's going to be Blue, Red, White, Green, etc... But assuming I keep it to replace Disk2, I just need to do what I did for Disk3: -) Take Disk 2 out -) Install new 4TB drive in bay -) Assign new 4TB drive to Disk 2 -) Start the array and let rebuild data? Yes Quote Link to comment
French-Guy Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 And finally, it's a Red..............So 4TB WD Red for $73, seems a keeper Quote Link to comment

French-Guy Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 OK, so Disk2 is being rebuilt now.........😊 Quote Link to comment
French-Guy Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Done, no error apparently And I did a backup of the flash..... Now, i will have to take care of the disks in reiserfs ! Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Just about done. Looks like there is enough space on the empty disk2 to copy all the files from disk1 and disk3 so you can reformat them to XFS. Quote Link to comment
French-Guy Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 With the unBALANCE plugin, right? Quote Link to comment

French-Guy Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Hello I'm trying to move the content of Disk 3 to Disk 1 with unBalance plugin, to be able to format Disk 3 in xfs ( I just did the same for Disk1 to Disk 2 this night to format Disk1 in xfs, and it went well) But when I click on "Plan", nothing seems to happen......Other than the icon on the top right corner (color stripes) is "pumping" Am I doing something wrong? Does it has something to do with the folder "system"? Thanks Quote Link to comment

Does it has something to do with the folder "system"? Thanks Normally system is on cache. Do you have a cache drive? Your latest reply is nearly a month later and I haven't reviewed the thread. You might have to go to the support thread for Unbalance. I don't use it. Quote Link to comment
French-Guy Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 No cache yet, but planning to add 1 (or 2 for a cache pool) I watched Space Invader tutorial, very instructive (by the way, I've posted on the forum about using the Inland Pro from Microcenter - Is it an OK SSD or should I avoid it. Also, not sure if I should go with 2 x 240GB or 2 x 480GB though) About unBalance, I tried again but this time from Disk3 to Disk2, and it seems to work "normally". It's copying now.......Will see what I get when completed (hoping no error message 🙄) Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Typically you will have to disable docker service (Settings - Docker) and disable VM service (Settings - VM Manager) in order to move system since you can't move open files. Quote Link to comment
French-Guy Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 Yeah, it's what I saw on Space Invader's video.. However, I'm not running any VM nor have any docker Does it change something? Quote Link to comment

French-Guy Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 I'll have to check..... Quote Link to comment
French-Guy Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 OK, I've installed my 2 x SSD (480GB each) as a cache pool, following SpaceInvader's video.....Looks like everything went well Is there anything to do/setup (Trim?) since it's SSD? Thanks Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Install the Dynamix trim plugin Quote Link to comment
French-Guy Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Yesterday, the "Fix common common" plugin mentioned the Dynamix Trim plugin not being installed So I installed it, but I'm not sure how to configure it....For now, I've selected "Daily", at midnight Is it OK? How long a Trim operation usually takes? Quote Link to comment
