rcrh Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I'm in the middle of migrating from ReiserFS to xFS by moving data off of each drive, formating it, and then moving data back. So far I've been able to do this within my array (6tb parity, 7x4tb data, 1x6tb data) but I'm not down to my 6tb drive. To get all of the data off of it I'll be leaving only about 100gb on each data drive. Do I run any performance or security risks by filling my array drives this full? I could probably find an external drive somewhere and move the data off of the server but I'd rather not. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 XFS does not suffer from the severe degradation in write speed on full drives like reiserFS does so you should be OK. Quote Link to comment
