July 1, 20206 yr Hi guys, My Array has two parity disks and several others. Some of those are quite small but contain data. I'd like to remove 5 drives and (potentially) replace those with one large. I have sufficient space to just move data away from the small ones without a new drive, however I'd like to keep the usage somewhat balanced. My General Idea would be to add the new drive, set all the drives I want to remove to be excluded from all shares. Then use unBalance to move all data from the small disks. Now the tricky part: Can I just use "New config" and remove 5 drives? Having two Parities in place? Or is there a better approach for what I am planing to do? P.S: - Removing disks one by one with parity rebuilds would take forever - I also read something about zeroing the disks I want to remove...? Edited July 1, 20206 yr by Jaster
