Jaster Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) 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, 2020 by Jaster Quote Link to comment
