Moving over to XFS encrypted.

[halfelite]

Long story short I started moving my Array over to xfs encrypted following this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPPnY3jbRKg . Everything worked out fine for the first drive just takes forever moving that much data around. I have some brand new 10TB drives I have yet to install in Unraid.  My thinking was is it safe to install a new 10TB drive assign it to the array and have it formatted xfs encrypted but not assigned to any shares. then use unbalancer plugin to copy data from a non encrypted disk to the newly installed 10TB drive. Stop the array use new config tool to wipe out drive assignments then assign the new 10TB encrypted drive in the spot of the old non encrypted drive. 

 

So 

 

drive2 10tb non encrypted belongs to one user share 

drive9 10tb encrypted belongs to no user shares

 

Copy data from drive2 to drive9 using unbalancer stop array wipe out config

reassign drive9 to drive drive2.

 

Thanks.

You would have to rebuild parity with the new config.
